Abstract
The paper presents an indigenously developed vibrating disc piezoelectric gyroscope, in which both excitation and detection have been done through piezoelectric, using PZT-5H material. The gyroscope has been driven to resonant state by direct piezoelectric effect, using 20 V ac signal at 93 kHz, and the output has been detected by the reverse piezoelectric effect.The performance of this gyroscope has been tested with 3 microprocessor-controlled turntable, and the output of the gyroscope has been found" to be linearly proportional to the rotation
speed within a range ± 150 °/s. The sensitivity of the gyroscope is about 0.5 mV/°/s, which is comparable to that of other gyroscopes of similar category
