Goal of the Project
To conduct research and analysis of a novel MEMS gyroscope design1) Understand the motivation for the new patent
from Boeing and Honeywell and others; why higher performance?
2) Identify new features in the novel design(s) and how higher performances are achieved
3) Compare to existing gyroscope designs4) Analyze Q (quality) factor improvements

Disc Resonating Gyro Basics
![Page 4: Disc Resonator Gyroscope (DRG) Jared Satrom Chris Fruth.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649d795503460f94a5cdb8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Disc Resonating Gyro Basics
Gyroscope is driven to resonate in-plane
Electrodes sense deflection in outer ring sockets
Electrodes actuate in inner ring sockets
Circuits process the signal and feedback into the system

Operation Principle of the DRG
![Page 6: Disc Resonator Gyroscope (DRG) Jared Satrom Chris Fruth.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649d795503460f94a5cdb8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Coriolis Effect
Coriolis acceleration (a) occurs if a resonating disc is pterturbed
Depends on velocities on the disc higher frequencies allow Coriolis acceleration to dominate centrifugal acceleration
Coriolis acceleration is what the electrodes sense through change in capacitance
![Page 7: Disc Resonator Gyroscope (DRG) Jared Satrom Chris Fruth.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649d795503460f94a5cdb8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How Does the DRG Work?
DC Source creates an electrostatic force that moves the disc
Proper control of these electrodes can put the system into resonance
Similarly, the sensing electrodes use gap changes to gauge system changes
![Page 8: Disc Resonator Gyroscope (DRG) Jared Satrom Chris Fruth.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649d795503460f94a5cdb8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
One Ring or Many?
One major advantage of this system is its large area
Compared to a single ring gyro, has much more control over actuation and sensing
Single rings require flexible support beams as well
![Page 9: Disc Resonator Gyroscope (DRG) Jared Satrom Chris Fruth.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649d795503460f94a5cdb8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why Cut the Circles?
•With full concentric circles, the structure tends to be rigid
•By using arcs instead, the structure becomes more flexible, allowing for better accuracy and performance

Ideal Gyro
High-Q Large S/N ratio Low-cost Small (1 cm3) Reliable Requiring low power
![Page 11: Disc Resonator Gyroscope (DRG) Jared Satrom Chris Fruth.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649d795503460f94a5cdb8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Q-Factor
Quality factor Q is the measure of energy dissipation
![Page 12: Disc Resonator Gyroscope (DRG) Jared Satrom Chris Fruth.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649d795503460f94a5cdb8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Issue: Energy Dissipation Mechanisms
Thermoelasticity: Mechanical energy is exchanged for thermal energy that is diffused
Scattering Loss: “Elastic wave” of resonation is scattered due to material defects
Anchor Loss: Elastic waves travel down the support column of the disc and dissipate
Fluid Damping: Less significant, only a problem for low frequency applications

Issue: Stiction and Electrode Damage

Benefits of this Design
Has large sensing area compared to other gyros
Easy to package Multiple sensing and
driving electrodes can make it easier to operate and read

Fabrication

Advantages Over Other Designs
MEMS gyroscopes desirable because they are lightweight and cheaper to produce
Isolation from vehicle platform is desirable to limit transmission of external disturbances
A design incorporating: – high sensitivity (as in hemispherical resonators) – simple/inexpensive thin planar Si microfabrication
(as in a thin ring gyroscope)

Motivation for Higher Performance
Scalability of previous gyroscope designs was poor: – mechanical features were hard to perfect at
smaller scales– Sensor noise scales less than size
Therefore, smaller yet more precise and accurate gyros are desired– Adequate areas for driving and sensing while
remaining compact
