introduction

 Gyroscope is a device used for measuring and

maintaining the orientation of an object or a
system on which it is mounted .
 Mechanically,gyroscope is a spinning wheel or a
disc mounted on an axle that is free to rotate in
any direction.

disadvantages

High cost
Large size
Can track motion about single axis .

Mems gyroscope

 Mems gyroscope is based on coriolis force which

is induced in it due to the combination of vibration
of a proof mass and an orthogonal angular rate
input.
 Corilios acceleration is an apparent acceleration
that arises in a rotational frame and is proportional
to the rate of rotation.

Why mems?

 Small size
 Low cost
 Low power consumption
as there is no rotating disc
which requires a motor.

Linear gyroscope dynamics

 The most basic implementation for a

micromachined vibratory rate gyroscope is a
single proof mass and the substrate,making the
mass free to oscillate in two orthogonal
directions,the drive and the sense directions.

When a gyroscope is in operation, the suspended proof mass

keeps vibrating. As the gyroscope experiences the rotation
relative to its reference a force called corilios force will act
on the suspended structure and causes it to move in a
direction perpendicular to its vibrating direction. This
movement is proportional to the rotation speed and is
converted to electrical signal that can be amplified and read
by a microcontroller , the angular velocity can be
ascertained. 04/17/2021

design

 A proofmass is suspended above a substrate using

a suspension system of flexible beams anchored to
the substrate .
 One set of electrodes is needed to excite the drive
mode oscillator and another set of electrodes
detects the sense mode response.

Continued;

 In this gyro sensor there are two proof masses which are
made to vibrate in opposite directions. Now when the
arrangement is rotated in the shown direction ,corilios
force is developed. This force tries to down the one mass
and raise the other .Due to this there is change of
capacitance between the proof mass and the capacitor
above or beneath it.The change in capacitance between
the two capacitors would give the sense of rotation

Use of gyroscope's in smartphones.

 In a smartphone, the gyroscope enables it to sense

the orientation of the phone to auto rotate the
screen.
 The gyroscope system receives the data by
listening to the gyroscope in the phone and the
analysis it to determine how much the phone has
rotated over a certain amount of time.

Installation issues

 Mems gyroscope is highly sensitive to

environmental disturbances such as shocks
vibrations and temperature changes.
 Due to damping the amplitude of sense mode
vibrations is decreased.So vacuum has to be
created or an amplifier is used.
