ABSTRACT:
A vibrating gyroscope 10 includes a piezoelectric vibrator 12. A piezoelectric element 16c for feedback of the piezoelectric vibrator 12 is connected to an input terminal of an amplifier 22, an output terminal of the amplifier 22 is connected to an input terminal of a phase correction circuit 24. An output terminal of the phase correction circuit 24 is connected to piezoelectric elements 16a and 16b for both of driving and detecting via resistors 26a, 26b, 28a and 28b. Both ends of the resistor 28a are connected to a non-inverting input terminal and an inverting input terminal of a first differential amplifier circuit 30a, respectively. Both ends of the resistor 28b are connected to a non-inverting input terminal and an inverting input terminal of a second differential amplifier circuit 30b, respectively. Output terminals of the first differential amplifier circuit 30a and the second differential amplifier circuit 30b are connected to a non-inverting input terminal and an inverting input terminal of a third differential amplifier circuit 32, respectively. An output terminal of the third differential amplifier circuit 32 is connected to a smoothing circuit 50a via a synchronous detection circuit 40a.
