    摘要: The MEMS gyroscope (1) is formed by a substrate (5), a first mass (7) and a second mass (10), wherein the first and the second masses are suspended over the substrate and extend, at rest, in a plane of extension (XY) defining a first direction (X) and a second direction (Y) transversal to the first direction. The MEMS gyroscope further has a drive structure (48) coupled to the first mass and configured, in use, to cause a movement of the first mass in the first direction, and an elastic coupling structure (25), which extends between the first mass and the second mass and is configured to couple the movement of the first mass in the first direction (X) with a movement of the second mass in the second direction (Y). The elastic coupling structure has a first portion (27, 28, 30, 31, 36, 37) having a first stiffness and a second portion (26, 33, 34) having a second stiffness greater than the first stiffness. The first portion of the elastic coupling structure extends, at rest, in the first and the second directions, and the second portion extends, at rest, in a third direction (C), in the plane of extension, transversal to the first and the second directions.

    摘要: A sensor structure and a method for operating a vibrating sensor of angular velocity comprising a rotor mass and two linearly moving masses is disclosed. The sensor structure and method comprises a rotor mass, two linearly moving masses, and two T-shaped levers each coupled with the two linearly moving masses and to the rotor mass. The T-shaped levers enable the rotor mass and the two linearly moving masses to be excited into an anti-phase primary mode, where the direction of angular momentum of the rotor mass is opposite to the direction of angular momenta of the linearly moving masses. Angular momenta of the rotor mass and the linearly moving masses cancel each other to a high extent, so that the total sum of angular momentum of the structure is very small. Nominal frequency of the anti-phase primary mode is distinctively low as compared to nominal frequencies of other possible primary modes, such as a parallel phase primary mode.

    摘要: A gyroscope comprising: a support structure: a drive mass springedly coupled to the support structure such that movement of the drive mass with respect to the support structure is substantially restricted to movement in a first direction; a driver configured to cause the drive mass to oscillate with respect to the support structure in the first direction; a sense mass springedty coupled to the drive mass such that movement of the sense mass with respect to the drive mass is substantially restricted to movement in a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction; and a digital trigger comprising a proximity switch coupled between the drive mass and the sense mass, wherein the switch is configured to switch from an open state to a closed state each time the sense mass is in a reference position with respect to the drive mass.

    摘要: A high-performance angular rate detecting device is provided. A driving part including a drive frame and a Coriolis frame is levitated by at least two fixing beams which share a fixed end and are extending in a direction orthogonal to a driving direction, thereby vibrating the driving part. Even when a substrate is deformed by mounting or heat fluctuation, internal stress generated to the fixed beam and a supporting beam is small, thereby maintaining a vibrating state such as resonance frequency and vibration amplitude constant. Therefore, a high-performance angular rate detecting device which is robust to changes in mounting environment can be obtained.
