    摘要: Transducers comprising a frame structure made of piezoelectric material convert energy, through piezoelectric effect, between electrostatic energy associated with voltage differential between the electrodes sandwiching the frame structure and mechanical energy associated with deformation of the frame structure. Inertial sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerators, including inertial sensors comprising ring resonators, utilize said transducers both to generate oscillations of their resonators and to sense the changes in such oscillations produced, in the sensors' frame of reference, by Coriolis forces appearing due to the movement of the sensors.

    摘要: An inertial sensor includes driving piezoelectric transducers for enabling an oscillation of a resonator, sensing piezoelectric transducers for enabling a detection of a movement of the inertial sensor, and piezoelectric compensating elements substantially equidistantly among the driving and the sensing piezoelectric transducers, wherein the compensating elements and the resonator form corresponding capacitors having capacitive gaps, and wherein, during the oscillation of the resonator, changes in electrostatic charges stored in the capacitors are measured with the compensating elements and are modified so as to modify the oscillation of the resonator.

    摘要: A method for testing a Coriolis transducer having a mass adapted vibrate along a vibratory direction in a resonant structure and undergo a displacement along a sensitive axis, perpendicular to the vibration, in response to an angular rate about a mutually perpendicular rate sensing axis. In the absence of an angular rate about the rate sensing axis, forces, FTEST VIBRATORY and FTEST SENSITIVE are applied on the mass along the direction of vibration and along the sensitive axis, respectively, in a predetermined ratio, N. The output VOUT TEST of the transducer is measured in response to the forces, FTEST VIBRATORY and FTEST SENSITIVE.
