ABSTRACT:
An accelerometer apparatus capable of sensing accelerations ranging from steady state to at least 500 Hertz is described. The apparatus uses a piezo resistive pickoff for low frequency sensing and applies a potential to the accelerometer's pendulum to excite a secondary pickoff for frequencies above 100 Hertz.
