Abstract

A physical quantity sensor has a resonance frequency f1 in same-phase mode and a resonance frequency f3 in same-phase absorptive mode greater than the resonance frequency f1. An absolute value Δf3 is a difference between the resonance frequency f3 in the same-phase absorptive mode and a value that is the product of the resonance frequency f1 in the same-phase mode multiplied by n; an avoidance difference D indicates a degree of deviation of the absolute value Δf3 from the resonance frequency f1 in the same-phase mode. A relation (Δf3>n·f1·D) is satisfied, and, simultaneously, the avoidance difference D is provided to be greater than 0%. This can avoid the vibrational excitation by resonance interference from becoming the maximum displacement.
