First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vibratory inertial force sensor comprising:
- a drive arm;
a driver disposed to the drive arm for vibrating the drive arm;
a sensor section for generating a detection signal through deflection produced by inertial force applied to the drive arm;
a monitor for monitoring the vibration of the drive arm;
a drive control circuit for controlling an amount of vibration of the drive arm; and
a detection circuit for processing the detection signal,wherein, the detection circuit synchronously wave-detects the detection signals detected by the sensor section with a monitor signal supplied from the monitor, removes harmonic component from the signals synchronously wave-detected, passes a voltage variable fundamental component from the signals synchronously wave-detected, amplifies the signals from which the harmonic component is removed, and then smoothes the amplified signals.

Abstract
A method for processing a detection signal of a vibratory inertial force sensor is disclosed. This method improves detection accuracy of the vibratory inertial force sensor. A detection circuit of the vibratory inertial force sensor removes harmonic component from signals synchronously wave-detected, and amplifies the resultant signals, and then smoothes the amplified signals. A vibratory inertial force sensor adopting this method is also disclosed.
