SYNCHRONIZATION STRUCTURE FOR GYROSCOPE

A microelectromechanical z-axis gyroscope which comprises a proof mass system centred around a gyroscope center point. The oscillation of first and second proof mass pairs is synchronized by a substantially circular synchronization element which is centred at the gyroscope center point and comprises four first attachment points. Each proof mass is attached to the nearest first attachment point on the substantially circular synchronization element. The substantially circular synchronization element also comprises two or more second attachment points, and a substantially linear suspender extends tangentially from each second attachment point to an anchor point.
