Preface
The gyroscope, which measures angular rotation around a fixed axis with respect to an inertial space, is a key sensor in modern navigation systems enabling to plan, record and control the movement of a vehicle from one place to another. This device has a wide spectrum of applications in space engineering, aeronautical and military industry, automotive, medicine and so on. For these reasons gyro architectures and technologies have been investigated by very important research groups in USA, Europe and Asia. National space agencies of a number of Countries have invested significant financial resources for developing innovative gyroscope technologies. Results of this intense research effort have been reported in a large number of scientific papers and patents. The purpose of the book is to collect and critically review the main results obtained by the scientific community in advanced gyroscope technologies. Architectures, design techniques and fabrication technology of angular rate sensors proposed in literature are described. Future research trends aimed to cover special applications are also considered. The book is intended for researchers and Ph.D. students interested in modelling, design and fabrication of gyros. It may be a useful education
