Abstract

HSG-IMIT is developing a new silicon rate gyroscope of very small size, low cost, and high performance. The device is called MARS-RR, which means Micromachined Angular Rate Sensor with two Rotary oscillation modes. First prototypes, MARS-RR1 yielded random walk and bias stability as low as 0.27 deg/√h and 65 deg/h, respectively. The noise equivalent rate (3 σ) corresponds to a resolution of 0.096 deg/s in a 50 Hz bandwidth.
