摘要： A vibratory angular rate sensing system may have one pair of tines forming an angle of about 60 degrees, resulting from the crystalline orientation of the Z-cut quartz wafer of the system. In one configuration each of the tines is provided with a mass offset from the axis of the associated tine, a pivot extends through the plane of symmetry of the tines and may be connected to a dummy reaction mass. The resonant system is suspended from a mounting frame by a pair of suspension bridges. A second embodiment of the invention features two groups of tines, each group including two pairs of tines arranged in the form of a cross. Again, an offset mass is associated with the free end of each tine and each group of tines is secured to its frame by a suspension bridge.

摘要： A rotation rate sensor which employs a built-in (i.e. internal) test circuit. The rotation rate sensor includes a piezoelectric structure. Deposited on the piezoelectric structure are at least two pickup high and two pickup low electrodes. A pickup circuit is coupled to the pickup high and pickup low electrodes. During a normal mode of operation, the piezoelectric structure is subject to a rotation about one of its axis. In response, the pickup circuit generates a rate signal which corresponds to the rotation rate of the piezoelectric structure. The test circuit is coupled to the pickup low electrodes. During a test mode of operation, the piezoelectric structure is also subject to a rotation about the axis. But, the test circuit generates at the same time a test signal which is provided to the pickup low electrodes and which corresponds to a pseudo rate of rotation. In response, the pickup circuit generates a rate signal which corresponds to the sum of the actual rate of rotation of the piezoelectric material plus the pseudo rate of rotation.

摘要： An angular rate sensor system is disclosed, consisting of a balanced resonant sensor. The sensor consists of a tuning fork of a piezoelectric material, preferably of quartz. The tines of the tuning fork are caused to vibrate electromechanically, for example, by impressing an alternating voltage on a pair of electrodes on each tine. This will cause the tines to vibrate. Any component of angular motion around the axis of the sensor causes a cyclic deflection of the tines at right angles to the normal driven vibration of the tines. If the rotational input to the handle of the sensor is applied through a torsion element, the resulting tine deflection is directed to cyclically rotate the entire sensor along the input/output axis. This deflection can be used for changing the capacitance of a capacitance bridge, or for generating an electric signal, due to the piezoelectric effect resulting from the deflection. Finally, the output signal may consist of a frequency-modulated signal or an optical pick-up may be used. The system may take various forms, including one, two, four, or eight tuning forks forming a unitary system.

摘要： An inertial sensing system includes a geometric structure having several independent mechanically resonant modes of vibration such that when the structure is subjected to outside inertial motions that are to be sensed, a driven mode of vibration will couple energy in a specific manner into a pickup mode. The driven mode serves as a reference motion. The system measures angular rotation rate by sensing the vibrations in the pickup mode caused by the action of the Coriolis effect on the balanced driven mode which couples energy into the pickup mode. The system includes a portion of the geometric structure that is subject to strain caused by linear acceleration in one direction. The strain introduces an imbalance in the driven mode which causes energy to be coupled to the pickup mode of vibration in a nominally linear manner. A sensing circuit is provided to sense the amount of energy coupled into the pickup system as a measure of applied angular rotation and applied acceleration. The coupling of energy into the pickup caused by linear acceleration is orthogonal to the coupling of energy caused by angular rotation rate, and the effects of the two sources of coupled energy can be separated by the system circuitry such that independent determination of the two types of input motion is realized. The sensing system is preferably made of a material such as crystalline quartz that is mechanically stable and is also piezoelectric so that the driving and sensing can be accomplished by piezoelectric techniques.
