Introduction
What is Gyroscope?
A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principle of preserving angular momentum. Mechanical gyroscopes typically comprise a spinning wheel or disc in which the axle is free to assume any orientation.

Background
In 1991, Greiff et al. designed conventional macroscale gyroscope with detective resolution of 4deg/sec and 1Hz bandwidth.
In 2006, Vinay et al. proposed a micro tri-axis gyroscope in which a single proof mass is embedded.
However, accuracy, bandwidth and decoupling efficacy of measurements are insufficient.

Design
The proposed tri-axis microgyroscope is schematically shown in below.
![Page 9: tri axis micro gyroscope](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102808/55cf8f66550346703b9bf5fa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Design
The seismic inertial mass modules includes: Inner disk, outer-ring, distributed translational proof mass(DTPM)
In fact, the seismic inertial mass modules are nothing but the angular rate detection elements whose responding motions are induced by Coriolis effect in three axes.

Design
Flexure pivots include four spring sets.
Spring#1(marked as S1),which is used to suspend the outer-ring(used for detection of angular rate about Y-direction).
The inner-disk(used for detection of angular rate about x-direction) is suspended by a set of torsion spring, named as Spring#2(marked as S2).
Spring #3(marked as S3) and Spring #4 are, respectively, used to resist the radial and tangential acceleration of DTPM due to external angular excitations about z-direction.

Design
The sensing capacitor sets include two pairs of differential capacitor and four pairs of comb electrodes.
The comb electrode pairs by the DTPM are used to measure the induced radial displacement of DTPM if any regular excitation about Z axis is present.

Results
As the External angular velocity about x axis or y axis is exerted, the inner-disk or outer ring responds to tilt owing to Coriolis effect.
Hence the air gap between the corresponding mass module and differential capacitors is altered so that the voltage across capacitors is accordingly changed, as shown in results.

Results
The relation between capacitance variation and the corresponding induced voltage is found to be fairly linear.
In other words, it can be conveniently used for measure of detected angular rate,

Conclusion
Capability of detecting tri-axis angular motions.
Designed in geometry such that the stress of proposed microgyroscope is considerably reduced but the resolution for angular displacements is increased.
The mass production cost has been considered at the design stage but the resolution, bandwidth and decoupling capability of tri axis detection can be expected to be much upgraded .
