Popis: We report a prototype of a triple axis angular rate sensor based on a double gimbal structure with a link beam drive mechanism, which can be operated without vacuum packaging. The principle of this rate sensor is based upon the torsional reference vibration of an outer gimbal generated by a PZT plate through link beams, and triple axis rate detections by piezoresistive four-terminal elements located on the tortional beams supporting each rate-sensitive inertial mass within the outer driven gimbal.
