Abstract

In a method for operating a sensor system including a substrate having a main plane of extension and an oscillating structure which is movable relative to the substrate, drive elements excite the oscillating structure to a torsional oscillation about an axis of oscillation running essentially perpendicular to the main plane of extension, first detection elements detect a first tilting movement of the oscillating structure about a first tilting axis essentially parallel to the main plane of extension, and further detection elements detect an angular acceleration of the substrate superposed to the torsional oscillation essentially about the axis of oscillation.
