  • Abstract
    Fully integrated gyroscopes have some unique advantages in low power, size, weight, and cost. The progress in bringing an integrated gyroscope to mass production is described, together with some of the strategies employed to overcome difficulties with this class of device, in particular, the measures to produce shock and vibration immunity. A natural progression for future products is also outlined.
