Rotations-Drehratensensor mit mechanisch entkoppelten Schwingungsmoden

WO2005098358 A UPAB: 20051130 NOVELTY - Sensor comprises the following: a substrate, at least one oscillating element that can be excited so as to oscillate rotationally or radially, an anchor structure, one or more detection elements, one or more joining elements that connect the detection elements to the oscillating element, a mechanism for exciting the oscillating element, and a device for detecting a radial or rotational oscillation of the detection elements. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Each of the detection elements can oscillate radially in the same plane on which rotational oscillation of the oscillating element occurs, or vice versa, while the centrifugal force caused by the rotational oscillation causes no substantial radial movement of the detection elements or the oscillating elements. USE - Angular velocity sensing gyroscope. ADVANTAGE - Sensor size and manufacturing cost are reduced because the centrifugal force does not have to be compensated
