A
yaw rate sensor and a method for operating a
yaw rate sensor comprising a substrate and a double rotor are proposed, wherein the substrate has a main extension plane with an X direction and a Y direction running perpendicular thereto, wherein the double rotor has a first rotor and a second rotor which - spaced apart along the X direction and separated from one another by a
central region - are elastically connected to the substrate via a respective suspension and which are elastically connected to one another via a first
coupling element such that the two rotors can be excited to antiphase
torsional oscillations, wherein the rotation axes of the rotors run in a Z direction perpendicular to the main extension plane of the substrate, wherein the
yaw rate sensor has first detection electrodes and second detection electrodes, wherein the first rotor is connected to a first
seismic mass and a second
seismic mass such thatthat these are each mounted so as to be deflectable in the radial direction relative to the first rotor and substantially parallel to the main extension plane, wherein the second rotor is connected to a third
seismic mass and a fourth seismic
mass in such a way that these are each mounted so as to be deflectable in the radial direction relative to the second rotor and substantially parallel to the main extension plane, wherein the first seismic
mass is connected to the third seismic
mass via a first rocker element in such a way that the third seismic mass is deflected in a direction opposite to the radial deflection of the first seismic mass upon a radial deflection of the first seismic mass, wherein the second seismic mass is connected to the fourth seismic mass via a second rocker element in such a way that the fourth seismic mass is deflected in a direction opposite to the radial deflection of the first seismic mass upon a radial deflection of the second seismic mass,the radial deflection of the second seismic mass is deflected in the opposite direction, wherein the first and second rocker elements are elastically connected to one another via a second
coupling element such that the radial deflections of the first and second seismic masses are antiparallel and the radial deflections of the third and fourth seismic masses are also antiparallel.
