چکیده

This paper studies behavior of non-ideal vibratory micromachined gyroscopes. The use of methods of motion decomposition [1] is the essence of the proposed analytical approach. The method is based on partitioning the equations of motion on fractions which are changing in di erent time scales. The approach allows rapid simulation of the long-term response of the gyroscope in presence of imperfections. The central result of the paper is the classi cation of errors in accordance with their in uence on the gyroscope behavior.

Micromachined Gyroscopes: Challenges, Design Solutions, and Opportunities

Micromachined gyroscopes are probably the most challenging type of transducers ever attempted to be designed in micro-world. A nail-size dynamic system integrated with control electronics on the same silicon chip (Fig. 1(a)) is designed to be a very sensitive sensor which is potentially able to detect maneuvers and motions beyond human perception. Along with exciting opportunities which MEMS gy...

A substrate energy dissipation mechanism in in-phase and anti-phase micromachined z-axis vibratory gyroscopes

This paper analyzes energy dissipation mechanisms in vacuum-operated in-phase and anti-phase actuated micromachined z-axis vibratory gyroscopes. The type of actuation is experimentally identified as the key factor to energy dissipation. For in-phase devices, dissipation through the die substrate is the dominant energy loss mechanism. This damping mechanism depends strongly on the die attachment...

Vibration Sensitivity Reduction of Micromachined Tuning Fork Gyroscopes through Stiffness Match Method with Negative Electrostatic Spring Effect

In this paper, a stiffness match method is proposed to reduce the vibration sensitivity of micromachined tuning fork gyroscopes. Taking advantage of the coordinate transformation method, a theoretical model is established to analyze the anti-phase vibration output caused by the stiffness mismatch due to the fabrication imperfections. The analytical solutions demonstrate that the stiffness misma...
