Abstract
Micromechanical comb structure includes a first comb device having a plurality of prongs and a second comb device having a plurality of prongs. The prongs of the first comb device and the prongs of the second comb device mesh with one another so that they are arranged side-by-side in pairs to form measuring capacitors. The prongs of at least one of the comb devices are designed to produce a variation in the mechanical natural frequencies of the prongs.
