A Novel Design of High Resolution MEMS Gyroscope Using Mode-Localization in Weakly Coupled Resonators

This paper presents a novel design for a high resolution microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology based resonant gyroscope using the mode-localization effect in weekly coupled resonators (WCRs) as a mechanism for sensing the input angular rate. The design consists of a single proof mass with...
