  • Abstract
    A dual axis MEMS capacitive Accelerometer with a single proof mass structure has been designed for the range of plusmn30 g. Instead of using two single axis accelerometer separately; an unique structure combining the features of two single axis accelerometer has been designed for measuring the acceleration in ´x´ and ´y´ axes simultaneously.
