A micromechanical
angular rate sensor is described, comprising a sensor structure having drive structures and detection structures, a sensor substrate, and a first partial oscillator having a first detection
mass and a second detection
mass, and a second partial oscillator having a third detection
mass and a fourth detection mass, and a
coupling structure, characterized in that the
coupling structure provides a mechanical
coupling between the first partial oscillator and the second partial oscillator, wherein the mechanical coupling suppresses phase-in-
phase oscillation of the first partial oscillator and the second partial oscillator.
