Effect of Axial Force on the Performance of Micromachined Vibratory Rate Gyroscopes

It is reported in the published literature that the resonant frequency of a silicon micromachined gyroscope decreases linearly with increasing temperature. However, when the axial force is considerable, the resonant frequency might increase as the temperature increases. The axial force is mainly ind...
