Abstract
A resonator microaccelerometer sensitive to accelerations along a first direction is formed from a thin plate whose plane comprises the first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and that is orthogonal with a third direction. The microaccelerometer comprises a fixed frame; a seismic mass; two hanging legs; and two resonator beams. The hanging legs extend substantially along the second direction, each leg being directed toward the center of gravity of the mass, symmetrically with respect to this center; the resonator beams are parallel, but non collinear, and are symmetrical with respect to the center of gravity of the mass.
