Abstract
A MEMS gyroscope may include a drive system configured to impart a drive motion on a plurality of proof masses within a device plane of the MEMS gyroscope, including first and second in-plane proof masses that are driven in anti-phase and first second out-of-plane proof masses that are driven in anti-phase via the movement of the in-plane proof masses. The out-of-plane proof masses include a separate driven mass and sense mass such that the sense mass does not move in the device plane in response to the drive motion but does move in the device plane in response to an angular velocity about the out-of-plane axis based on a Coriolis force imparted on the drive mass. A coupling link connects the sense masses, thereby synchronizing an anti-phase translation of the sense masses due to the sensed Coriolis force.
