A fastening assembly for a sensor assembly has a metal bush and a fastener. It is possible for the metal bush to be connected via the fastener to a vehicle body. The sensor assembly includes at least one sensor module and an associated sensor assembly. The metal bush has a sleeve as a single-point fixing and a plate as a carrier unit for a carrier plate on which the at least one sensor module is arranged. The sleeve is led through a central through-passage in the carrier plate.

A yaw rate sensor () includes a movable mass structure () and a drive component () which is suitable for setting the movable mass structure () in motion (), and an analysis component () which is suitable for detecting a response () of the movable mass structure () to a yaw rate (&#x3a9;). A method for functional testing of a yaw rate sensor () includes the following steps: driving a movable mass structure (), feeding a test signal () into a quadrature control loop () at a feed point () of the quadrature control loop (), feeding back a deflection () of the movable mass structure (), detecting a measure of the feedback of the movable mass structure (), and reading out the response signal () from the quadrature control loop (). In the yaw rate sensor () and also in the method, the readout of the response signal () in relation to a processing direction () of the test signal () is provided between a feed point () for a test signal () and an actuator () for feeding back a deflection () of the movable mass structure ().

A delta sigma modulator includes an oscillatory system having a natural frequency and an electronics and a control loop which acts upon the electronics from the oscillatory system and again upon the oscillatory system from the electronics. The control loop provides that a gain in the control loop demonstrates a peaking in a frequency range around the natural frequency of the oscillatory system.

A micromechanical rotation rate sensor has a seismic mass and driving devices which cause a driving vibration of the seismic mass in a first direction x. The rotation rate sensor has measuring devices which measure a deflection of the seismic mass in a second direction y, and generate a deflection signal. The deflection includes a measurement deflection caused by a Coriolis force and an interference deflection, the interference deflection being phase-shifted with respect to the measurement deflection by 90&#xb0;. Compensation devices are provided at the seismic mass to reduce the interference deflection. Regulation devices are provided, to which the deflection signal is supplied as an input variable, which demodulate an interference deflection signal from the deflection signal, and which generate a compensation signal from the interference deflection signal, which is supplied to the compensation devices.

A yaw-rate sensor having a resonant driving frequency and a resonant Coriolis frequency. In addition, the yaw-rate sensor has at least one operating voltage, of which the resonant Coriolis frequency is a function. The resonant Coriolis frequency is adjusted to the resonant driving frequency with the aid of an adjustment voltage. A change in the resonant Coriolis frequency as a result of a change in the operating voltage may be compensated for, in that a suitably changed adjusting voltage may be produced from a compensation circuit.

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention creates a micromechanical rotational rate sensor having a first Coriolis mass element and a second Coriolis mass element which may be situated over a surface of a substrate. An exemplary embodiment of a micromechanical rotational rate sensor may have an activating device by which the first Coriolis mass element and the second Coriolis mass element are able to have vibrations activated along a first axis. An exemplary embodiment of a micromechanical rotational rate sensor may have a detection device by which deflections of the first Coriolis mass elements and of the second Coriolis element are able to be detected along a second axis, which is perpendicular to the first axis, on the basis of a correspondingly acting Coriolis force. The first axis and second axis may run parallel to the surface of the substrate. The detecting device may have a first detection mass device and a second detection mass device. The centers of gravity of the first Coriolis mass element, the second Coriolis mass element, the first detection mass device and the second detection mass device may coincide at a common mass center of gravity when they are at rest.

A yaw-rate sensor is proposed having a first and a second Coriolis element ( ) which are arranged side-by-side above a surface ( ) of a substrate. The Coriolis elements ( ) are induced to oscillate parallel to a first axis. Due to a Coriolis force, the Coriolis elements ( ) are deflected in a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis. The first and second Coriolis elements ( ) are coupled by a spring ( ) which is designed to be yielding in the first and in the second axis. Thus, the frequencies of the oscillations in the two axes are developed differently for the in-phase and antiphase oscillation.

A yaw-rate sensor including a first and a second Coriolis element that are arranged side-by-side above a surface of a substrate. The Coriolis elements are induced to oscillate parallel to a first axis Y. Due to a Coriolis force, the Coriolis elements are deflected in a second axis X which is perpendicular to the first axis Y. The oscillations of the first and second Coriolis elements occur in phase opposition to each other on paths which, without the effect of a Coriolis force, are two straight lines parallel to each other.

An rate-of-rotation sensor having a Coriolis element, which is arranged over a surface of a substrate, is described. The Coriolis element is induced to oscillate in parallel to a first axis. In response to a Coriolis force, the Coriolis element is deflected in a second axis, which is perpendicular to the first axis. A proof element is provided to prove the deflection.
