Abstract:
A novel type of gyroscope sensor using metal dot arrays on the surface of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device has recently been independently proposed. In this paper, we report experimental trials of several devices fabricated to evaluate the effects described and also an order-of-magnitude estimate of the sensitivity to be expected. The conclusions are that this device is extremely insensitive as currently proposed.
