FIELD: measurement of linear and angular acceleration and angular velocity. SUBSTANCE: case of proposed unit houses twelve acoustic lines, each carrying inertial mass on end and converters based on surface acoustic wave on both sides. Pairs of acoustic lines are anchored in six faces of cubic case. Each pair of acoustic lines has common cantilever attachment in case. Planes of acoustic lines of each pair are spaced apart through same acute angle. Outputs of surface acoustic wave generators are connected to inputs of computer. Computer determines values of measured parameters by certain algorithm. EFFECT: increased accuracy and reduced mass and dimensions of measurement unit. 1 dwg
