Effect of the angular offset on the anisotropy of the 3D inclinometer. (a) Cubic rotation sensor with an angular offset of βx, βy, and βz for each resonator L3, L1, and L2, respectively. (b–d) Simulation results for the cubic sensor. (b) The variation in the first mode resonance strength as a function of the angular offset obtained by placing only 1 of the 3 resonators at a single time to avoid couplings; L2 and L3 have a 180° period but the L1 resonator has no symmetry in its transmission. (c) Graph showing the anisotropic effect of adding angular offset; the resonator L1 demonstrates a significant change in amplitude for a 180° rotation about any axis. (d) Zoomed in graph of (c) showing the variance in transmission of the L1 resonator.
