Abstract: The angular velocity sensor for detecting an angular velocity for detecting movement amounts and for controlling postures of vehicles, airplanes, cameras, and the like. The angular velocity sensor is provided with a piezoelectric vibrator, a temperature compensation function generating section, a correction coefficient setting section, an oscillation section, a synchronous pulse forming section, and a Coriolis output detection section. If an angular velocity is applied to the piezoelectric vibrator vibrating in a specific direction being driven by the oscillator section, a Coriolis force acts on the piezoelectric vibrator, and a vibration is generated which is perpendicular to the vibration in a specific direction. An electric charge generated by this vibration is detected at the detection electrode of the piezoelectric vibrator.
