• Operating Principle

  • A vibration is exerted to the silicon ring at ring's resonating frequency (Mode 1). ; 

  • Rotational motion produces Corioli's forces which couple vibration to a point 45 degrees relative to the driven axis (Mode 2).  

  • Monitoring the mode-1 null point (node) in the mode-2 gives a direct measure of applied angular rate. 

  • The above vibratory modes are unlikely to occur by external shock/vibrations, hence the rate gyroscope can maintain consistent performance in harsh environments.
