Popis: The SAW (surface acoustic wave) gyroscopic effect is a key parameter that reflects the sensitivity performance of SAW angular velocity sensors. This study found that adding a layer of non-piezoelectric material with a lower reflection coefficient than that of the upper-layer material below the piezoelectric substrate to form a double-layer structure significantly enhanced the SAW gyroscopic effect, and the smaller the reflection coefficient of the lower-layer material, the stronger the SAW gyroscopic effect, with values being reached that were two to three times those with single-layer substrate structures. This was confirmed using a three-dimensional model, and the experimental results also showed that the thickness of the piezoelectric layer and the type of the lower-layer material also had a significant impact on the SAW gyroscopic effect. This novel discovery will pave the way for the future development of SAW angular velocity sensors.
