Abstract

A method of tuning a vibratory gyroscope, the method comprising the steps of: a) applying an AC drive signal to the drive electrode, the drive signal comprising a plurality of frequencies; b) sensing the response of the resonator to the drive signal at the first and second sense electrodes; c) determining a frequency of maximum response for the first mode of vibration, and determining a frequency of maximum response for the second mode of vibration; d) deriving a comparison result from a comparison of the frequency of maximum response for the first mode of vibration with the frequency of maximum response for the second mode of vibration; and e) applying a biasing voltage to one or more of the tuning electrodes dependent on the comparison result.
