摘要： A micromechanical tuning fork gyroscope having two center electrodes is disclosed. The two center electrodes are excited with bias potentials of opposite polarity. The oppositely biased center electrodes provide electrical symmetry across the gyroscope and thereby reduce charge transients and sensitivity to vertical translation. Currents injected directly into the proof masses are equal and opposite and thus cancel. Motor lift forces acting on the proof masses and interleaved electrodes are equal, and hence the proof masses move in pure translation, thereby reducing in-phase bias. Further, any pure translation normal to the plane of the gyroscope does effect sense axis output signals.

摘要： A control system for a tuning fork gyroscope uses motor frequency to control motor amplitude. The tuning fork gyroscope has a drive signal input and an output signal from which motor frequency is determined. A phase/frequency detector generates an error signal by comparing the actual oscillation phase of the output signal with the phase of a reference signal from a crystal controlled frequency synthesizer. The error signal is filtered in a feedback loop control to reduce phase detector ripple. The output of the loop controller is then used to determine the appropriate drive signal to drive the error signal to a constant and maintain a predetermined oscillation frequency.

摘要： Trenches which reduce or eliminate force and sensitivity associated with proof mass motion normal to the substrate as a result of voltage transients is disclosed. The trenches provide increased separation between interleaved comb electrodes and the substrate, and thereby also reduce the comb lift to drive ratio. The trenches are typically formed directly below the interleaved comb electrodes, but may also be formed below other suspended portions. Trench depth is from 6-10 microns and provides a comb electrode to substrate separation of approximately 8.5-12.5 microns.

摘要： Micromachined, thermally insensitive silicon resonators are provided having accuracy equivalent or superior to that of quartz resonators, and are fabricated from a micromechanical, silicon-on-glass process. In one embodiment, such a resonator is realized using a tuning fork gyroscope. Radiation-hard precision voltage references (PVRs) are enabled using the silicon resonators. Thermal sensitivity is reduced relative to that of a silicon-on-silicon process oscillator, providing a thermal sensitivity comparable to that of a quartz oscillator. By employing a micromechanical device based upon a tuning fork gyroscope, resonators are made from either or both of the gyro drive and sense axes. A resonator constructed as an oscillator loop whose resonant frequency is compared to a frequency standard provides a bias voltage as a reference voltage.

摘要： A tuning fork gyroscope has an in-plane position sensitive pick-off to which an AC or AC+DC bias is applied. Intermodulation is exploited to produce beat-notes between the applied frequency and the motor frequency at amplitudes proportional to motor amplitude, but unaffected by error sources such as spurious substrate charge accumulation. The beat-notes are used to control motor amplitude without the effects of charge accumulation.
