Abstract
A capacitive acceleration sensor is composed of two electrodes placed on a support and a mobile inertial mass connected to the support by a rigid frame and blades. The network of blades is selected so that the acceleration inside the plane of the blades causes a uniform movement of the upper electrode, irrespective of the direction of acceleration.
