In this work, a novel mechanical amplification structure for a MEMS vibratory gyroscope is proposed with the aim of improving their sensitivity. The scheme is implemented using a system of micromachined V-shaped springs as a deflection amplifying mechanism. The effectiveness of the mechanism is first demonstrated for a capacitive fully decoupled quad mass gyroscope. A proof of concept vertical-axis mechanically amplified gyroscope with an amplification factor of 365% has been designed, simulated and fabricated, and results from its evaluation are presented in this paper. Experimental results show that the natural frequency of the gyroscope is 11.67 KHz, and the full scale measurement range is up to ±400°/s with a maximum nonlinearity of 54.69 ppm. The bias stability is 44.53°/h. The experiment results show that this quad mass gyroscope's performance is a very potential new way of reaching the navigation grade in the future.
