Abstract

In an angular velocity sensor, an upper electrode of a first piezoelectric element and a lower electrode of a second piezoelectric element are connected to an input terminal of a first Q/V conversion circuit, and a lower electrode of the first piezoelectric element and an upper electrode of the second piezoelectric element are connected to an input terminal of a second Q/V conversion circuit. Thus, vibration noise components of the quantities of charge generated at the first and second piezoelectric elements are cancelled out, and Coriolis components of the quantities of charge generated at the first and second piezoelectric elements are added, whereby only the Coriolis components are extracted.
