A tunneling-based micromachined gyroscope with a fan-shaped comb drive electrode,instead of plate-drive electrodes at existing designs,is put forward in this paper. From the principle of the gyroscope, the dynamic equation of this model gyroscope is derived and the inherent relations between structure and sensitivity are also analyzed. Based on this result,the effects of the mechanical coupling, the electrostatic drive frequency and the spring constant of sensitive direction on the performance of the gyroscope are comprehensively discussed. The internal relations between the selection of the electrostatic drive frequency and Q-values of different directions are also found out. Thus,a theoretical foundation of optimal structure for micromachined gyroscope has been laid.
