Abstract
A vibrating gyroscope includes: a support; four vibrating arms, four weights and excitation and detection elements. Each of the four vibrating arms has a first end and a second end in a longitudinal direction, and the four vibrating arms are fixed to the support at the respective first ends in the longitudinal direction such that four vibrating arms are radially arranged in a single plane with the adjacent arms making an angle of about 90 degrees. The four weights are fixed to the support so as to be arranged radially between the respective adjacent vibrating arms. The excitation and detection elements vibrate the vibrating arms under a bending mode within the single plane and output signals generated by the vibration of the vibrating arms.
