ABSTRACT:
An angular velocity sensor for detecting an angular velocity component includes an oscillator having mass, a sensor casing for accommodating the oscillator therewithin, a flexible member for connecting the oscillator to the sensor casing so that the oscillator can be moved with respect to the sensor casing, and capacitance elements including a first electrode provided on a surface of the oscillator and a second electrode provided on a surface of a fixed member fixed to the sensor casing.
