to trimming capacitor c to1 trimming voltages u to1 u to2 u tu1 and u tu2 are selected for example as defined by equations 5 and 6 and therefore set as a function of the quadrature parameter u t and of resonance parameter u f in order to eliminate the quadrature of the rotation rate sensor in conjunction with setting a defined resonant frequency of the readout mode of the rotation rate sensor illustrated respectively in fig9 and 10 is an exemplary embodiment of a rotation rate sensor that has two seismic masses 1 and 15 that are coupled to one another via a coupling element 16 for example designed as a spring seismic masses 1 and 15 are driven in this case in antiphase and therefore has an antiphase drive mode and as a result of this the common centroid remains at rest and the two seismic masses 1 15 have a common resonant frequency with respective regard to the drive mode and the readout mode the suspension spring elements 17 of the seismic masses 1 15 are tilted for example in the same direction the trimming voltages across the respective trimming capacitors c tlo1 c tlo2 c tro1 and c tro2 between trimming electrode elements 2 3 and seismic mass 1 as well as between trimming electrode elements 18 19 and seismic mass 15 are respectively set identically in pairwise fashion that is to say the first trimming voltages are set to c tlo1 and c tro1 u tlo1 u tro1 and the second trimming voltages are set to c tlo2 and c tro2 u tlo2 u tro2 identically in pairwise fashion the exemplary embodiment illustrated with the aid of fig1 additionally respectively has two trimming electrode elements 31 32 33 and 34.
