Abstract :
This paper deals with a vibratory gyrosensor which is constructed using only a single resonator and which can detect three-axial angular velocities. First, we propose the sensor operation principle, which can be called, “two-phase driving method for the multiaxial detection”. In the next, we show a prototype sensor and its experimental results. From the experimental results, we confirmed the basic operation of the multiaxial gyrosensor
