Abstract
An inertial angular rate sensor (IARS) which includes a symmetrical mechanical resonator. The rate sensor includes one or more one pair of vibrating masses. The sensor further incudes a mechanical coupler which forces the masses to move in a symmetrical manner despite mechanical tolerances.
