The principle of detection of the gaseous species is based on the change in resonant frequency of the microcantilever due to change in mass induced by the adsorption of an analyte molecule onto the surface of the active material deposited on the microresonator. The theoretical resonant frequency is found to be 20.1 kHz. The change in the resonant frequency {\^I}?f 0.13 Hz when the mass changes by {\^I}?m 43.2 fg on the resonator platform. The sensitivity is theoretical calculated to be0.3 Hz/pg. {\^A}{\copyright} 2011 IEEE.} }
