YAW RATE SENSOR AND A METHOD FOR OPERATING A YAW RATE SENSOR

摘要

The invention relates to a yaw rate sensor for detecting a rotational movement of said yaw rate sensor about a rotational axis, said rotational axis extending within a drive plane of the sensor, and said yaw rate sensor comprising a first rotational element, a second rotational element, and a drive structure that can be moved parallel to the drive plane, said first rotational element being able to be driven about a first centre of rotation to achieve a first rotational vibration parallel to the drive plane, and the second rotational element being able to be driven about a second centre of rotation to achieve a second rotational vibration parallel to the drive plane. The invention is characterised in that the drive structure is coupled to the first rotational element and to the second rotational element, and is configured to produce a counter-phase drive mode for the first rotational vibration and the second rotational vibration.
