  • Abstract
    A micromachined gyroscope has been designed that measures rotation through the deflection of an oscillating stream of heated gas and its detection by symmetrically placed thermal sensors. Simulations of the physics of this device and experimental setup are used to investigate the impact of heater power on gyroscope sensitivity.
