THREE-AXIS ROTATION RATE SENSOR INCLUDING A SUBSTRATE AND A DOUBLE ROTOR
DRIVE
July 21, 2022
A three-axis rotation rate sensor including a substrate and a double rotor. The double rotor includes a first rotor and a second rotor which are elastically connected to one another via a first coupling element so that the two rotors are excitable to rotary oscillations in phase opposition. The first rotor includes a first seismic mass and a second seismic mass that are deflectably supported with respect to the first rotor, and the second rotor includes a third seismic mass and a fourth seismic mass that are deflectably supported with respect to the second rotor. The first mass is connected to the third mass via a first rocker element so that upon a lateral deflection of the first mass, the third mass is deflected in a direction opposite the lateral deflection of the first mass.
