Abstract
A pair of vector sensors are provided and mounted orthogonally to each other. Each vector sensor includes a central structural member having a first end and a second end. The central structural member has four symmetric arms oriented at 90° to each other. A crystalline plate is attached perpendicular to a distal end of each arm of the central structural member. The first end of each vector sensor is embedded in a socket of a proof mass. The second end of each vector sensor is embedded in an aperture of a cubic base.
