Embodiment Construction

[0026] Among other things, the present inventors have recognized a micromechanical monolithic three-axis gyroscope configured to utilize a single centrally anchored mass to detect angular velocity about all three axes, simultaneously for each The response modes of each axis are effectively decoupled to minimize cross-axis sensitivity.

[0027] In one example, the unique mass partitioning and flexure configuration disclosed in this application can allow for three-axis angular velocity detection using a single drive mode oscillation (requiring only one drive control loop for all axes). Therefore, the complexity and cost of the control electronics of the three-axis gyroscope disclosed in this application can be greatly reduced compared to existing multi-axis gyroscopes that use three separate drive loops.

[0028] Furthermore, the present inventors have recognized, among other things, a micromechanical three-axis accelerometer configured to utilize a single centrally anchored mas...

Abstract

This document discusses, among other things, an inertial measurement system including a device layer including a single proof-mass 3-axis accelerometer, a cap wafer bonded to a first surface of the device layer, and a via wafer bonded to a second surface of the device layer, wherein the cap wafer and the via wafer are configured to encapsulate the single proof-mass 3-axis accelerometer. The single proof-mass 3-axis accelerometer can be suspended about a single, central anchor, and can include separate x, y, and z-axis flexure bearings, wherein the x and y-axis flexure bearings are symmetrical about the single, central anchor and the z-axis flexure is not symmetrical about the single, central anchor.
