    摘要: An angular velocity sensor has two masses which are laterally disposed in an X-Y plane and indirectly connected to a frame. The two masses are linked together by a linkage such that they necessarily move in opposite directions along Z. Angular velocity of the sensor about the Y axis can be sensed by driving the two masses into Z-directed antiphase oscillation and measuring the angular oscillation amplitude thereby imparted to the frame. In a preferred embodiment, the angular velocity sensor is fabricated from a bulk MEMS gyroscope wafer, a cap wafer and a reference wafer. In a further preferred embodiment, this assembly of wafers provides a hermetic barrier between the masses and an ambient environment.

    摘要: An integrated detection structure (1) has a first inertial mass (2) and a second inertial mass (2'), each of which is elastically anchored to a substrate (20) and has a linear movement along a first horizontal axis (x), a first detection movement of rotation about a first axis of rotation (A, A') parallel to a second horizontal axis (y) and a second detection movement of translation along the second horizontal axis; driving electrodes (12, 12') cause linear movement of the inertial masses, in opposite directions of the first horizontal axis (x); a pair of flexural resonator elements (3a-3b, 3a'-3b') and a pair of torsional resonator elements (4a-4b, 4a'-4b') are elastically coupled to the inertial masses, the torsional resonator elements (4a-4b, 4a'-4b') having a resonant movement of rotation about a second axis of rotation (B, B') and a third axis of rotation (C, C'), parallel to one another and to the first axis of rotation. The respective first detection movement of said first inertial mass or second inertial mass occurs with different modalities, according to the presence of a first angular velocity (Ω r ; Ω z ) or of a first linear acceleration (a z ; a y ) to be detected, thus causing corresponding variations of resonance frequency of the resonator elements.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for reducing mount vibration in an inertial rate sensor (IRS). For example, if oscillation in an IRS's vibratory members, vibrating along a first axis, cause displacement in the IRS's mount along a second axis, the vibratory members can be aligned so that the vibratory members have some component of movement along the second axis during oscillation. This component of movement can help reduce the displacement of the IRS's mount along the second axis. It can further reduce sensitivity to changes in the boundary conditions of an IRS (
    e.g. , vibrations and other movements at the mount from forces external to the IRS). Vibratory members further can have portions of increased mass at the vibratory members' tips, which can impact the alignment of the vibratory members. These examples, however, are not exhaustive.

    摘要: A micromechanical tuning fork gyro having two center electrodes (9a, 9b). The two center electrodes are excited with bias potentials of opposite polarity. The oppositely biased center electrodes provide electrical symmetry across the gyroscope and thereby reduce charge transients and sensitivity to vertical translation. Currents injected directly into the proof masses (3a, 3b) are equal and opposite and thus cancel. Motor lift forces acting on the proof masses and interleaved electrodes equal, hence the proof masses move in pure translation, thereby reducing in-phase bias. Further, any pure translation normal to the plane of the gyroscope does not effect sense axis output signals.

    摘要: A micromechanical tuning fork gyroscope includes a suspended structure (14) comprising at least first and second vibratable structures (38, 40). Each vibratable structure is energizable to vibrate laterally, within a first plane, along an axis (42) normal to the rotation sensitive axis (44). The lateral or inplane vibration of the first and second vibratable structures effects simultaneous vertical or rotational movement of at least a portion of the suspended structure upon the occurence of angular rotation of the gyroscope about the rotation sensitive axis. Vertical or rotational movement of the suspended structure is sensed by electrodes (70, 72) and a voltage proportional to the movement is generated, for providing an indication of angular rate of rotation detected by the gyroscope.
