Abstract
A vibrating beam accelerometer (VBA) with an in-plane translational proof mass that may include at least two or more resonators and be built with planar geometry, discrete lever arms, four-fold symmetry and a single primary mechanical anchor between the support base and the VBA. In some examples, the VBA of this disclosure may be built according to a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication process. Use of a single primary mechanical anchor may minimize bias errors that can be caused by external mechanical forces applied to the circuit board, package, and/or substrate that contains the accelerometer mechanism.
