Title:
Z-AXIS ANGULAR RATE SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005031257
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An oscillatory rate sensor is described for sensing rotation about the "z-axis". It is tuning-fork in nature with structural linkages and dynamics such that fundamental anti-phase oscillation of two proof masses is accomplished by virtue of the mechanical linkages.
