Abstract

A rate-of-rotation sensor comprises an oscillatory mass on which an acceleration sensor is disposed so that the acceleration sensor can be deflected parallel to the surface of the oscillatory mass. With this arrangement, a measurement of the Coriolis force parallel to the surface of the oscillatory mass is possible.
