Abstract
A method of detecting motion provides a resonator having a mass, moves the mass in a translational mode, and actuates the mass in a given bulk mode. The mass moves in the translational and given bulk modes at substantially the same time and, accordingly, the resonator is configured to detect linear and rotational movement when moving and actuating the mass in the translational and given bulk modes. The method produces one or more movement signals representing the detected linear and rotational movement.
