Abstract: Dimensions of a disk resonator gyroscope along the radial line of a resonator can be varied to engineer radial stiffness. An apparatus may comprise: a resonator comprising a plurality of concentric circumferential segments and a plurality of slots formed between the concentric circumferential segments; and at least one support supporting the resonator, wherein a width, in a radial direction, of each of the concentric circumferential segments is varied depending on a distance from the at least one support to the each of the concentric circumferential segments. The apparatus may further comprise radial segments connecting between the concentric circumferential segments. The concentric circumferential segments may have a ring shape.
