Yaw Rate Sensor YRS

The principle of the angular rate sensor is based on a vibrating cylinder-
gyrometer. A metal cylinder is excited to an amplitude controlled resonance
vibration. Occuring nodes are displaced by the impact of a coriolis force. This
displacement is shifted back to its zero position by a closed loop control.
The required measure to do so is a measure for the applied angular rate.
