  • Patent number: 6240780
    Abstract: An angular velocity sensor includes a board, a first vibrator, a second vibrator, a vibration generator, a displacement detector and a frequency adjuster. The first vibrator is supported on the board through first supporting beams and arranged so as to be vibrated in the direction of a first axis. The second vibrator is supported on the first vibrator through second supporting beams and arranged so as to be vibrated in the direction of the first axis and in the direction of a second axis at a right angle to the direction of the first axis. The vibration generator cause the first vibrator to vibrate in the direction of the first axis. The displacement detector detects a displacement of the second vibrator in the direction to the second axis when an angular velocity has been applied around a third axis at right angles with the first and second axes.
