Abstract: The system and method for phase noise reduction and/or vibration reduction in assemblies using piezoelectric passive resonant shunt damping or active vibration cancellation/compensation techniques. In some cases a circuit card or similar structure comprises an embedded piezoelectric device to reduce the effects of vibration on any sensitive device or component thereon. The system has a resonant shunt circuit or other control circuit to provide electrical loading to the piezoelectric device and may be single frequency mode or multimodal. The system may also be adaptively controlled by a microprocessor or the like, so that the vibration sensitive devices are monitored and controlled over time to extend the life of the device.
