Abstract
The method for calibrating a micromachined inertial angle sensor () comprising a support, at least one vibrating mass movable relative to the support, at least one transducer for exciting vibrating movement of the vibrating mass, at least one transducer for detecting a vibration of the vibrating mass, and at least one electrostatic transducer being capable of applying an adjustable electrostatic stiffness to the vibrating mass, the calibration method comprising the steps of the angle sensor receiving a predetermined vibrational excitation emitted by an excitation device () separate from the excitation transducer; the detection transducer measuring the vibration of the vibrating mass to obtain a measurement signal (S) from said measurement by the detection transducer; and transforming; determining, adjusting, and applying the electrostatic stiffness.
