The introduction of miniaturized piezoresistive sensing into Lissajous frequency modulated gyroscopes has an interesting potential to reduce noise. This letter presents the first design of such a system from both the electro-mechanical and electronics point of view and tests the system in operation. An angle random walk of 3 mdps/√hz is demonstrated, together with a full-scale range that exceeds 2000 dps for a 46 Hz split, thus corresponding to about 20 Hz system bandwidth. Experimental results also show the importance of tracking the mode-split in operation, as this largely correlates with the zero-rate output drift, leading to a stability improvement by almost a factor of 20, down to 1 °/hr.
