Abstract
A center mass and a pair of outer masses are connected to each other via supporting beams displaceable in the X-axial direction. When an angular velocity sensor is operated, a vibration generator causes masses to vibrate substantially at opposite phases to each other with respect to the X-axial direction. In this state, if an angular velocity on the Y-axis is added, the displacements of the masses, caused when the masses are displaced in the Z-axial direction, are detected as the angular velocity. Moreover, fixing portions, formed on a substrate, support the nodes of the supporting beams corresponding to the nodes to suppress vibration of the masses from being transmitted to the substrate.
