  • Abstract
    This paper presents a novel decoupled microgyroscope. The oblique comb electrode within the device has the ability to tune the frequency of the sensing mode. The simulation results show that the driving mode and the sensing mode are well decoupled. The measurement results show that with the dc voltage of 21 V, the sensing mode frequency can be tuned about 51 Hz.
