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.

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...
