A microelectromechanical gyroscope comprises a first proof mass quartet centred around a first quartet center point and a second proof mass quartet centred around a second quartet center point. The gyroscope comprises a suspension arrangement configured to accommodate the primary and secondary oscillating motion of the first and second proof mass quartets. The suspension arrangement comprises a first synchronization frame and a second synchronization frame. Each synchronization frame surrounds the corresponding proof mass quartet, and each proof mass is coupled to the surrounding synchronization frame with one or more frame suspension springs. The gyroscope also comprises a lateral synchronization spring which extends from the first proof mass quartet to the second proof mass quartet.
