Abstract :
This paper reports a multifunctional silicon micromachined gyroscope for determining attitude of the rotating carrier. Both the principle and the experiment of the gyroscope are presented to explain the multifunction. This article explains the way to determine the deflecting direction and deflecting position of the rotating carrier in the gravitation field. In the final part, the influence of temperature on determining attitude is discussed.
