Abstract
A method of improving an output characteristic of an angular rate sensor including, for example, a fork oscillator and an improved structure of an angular rate sensor are provided. The improvement of the output characteristic is achieved by adjusting a physical structure of the oscillator to minimize unwanted vibrations of the oscillator or noises of a sensor output. The adjustment of the physical structure is achieved by trimming away an edge portion of the oscillator or a supporter for supporting the oscillator on a base.
