description Although the theoretical basis for surface acoustic wave gyroscopes (SAWGs) was first proposed in 1980, their design concepts are still under development. Nevertheless, these sensors are of a great interest in the potential market owing to their exceptional shock resistance, small size, low power consumption, and simple manufacturing process that ensures low cost. This paper aims to conscientiously investigate the ideas that have been proposed over the past decade in this area and evaluate the potential development required to bring SAWGs to market. It should be of interest for researchers in the field who might have missed some useful solutions that could be a missing piece in their own design, or for young researchers to inspire their creativity and open new research on the topic. Additionally, since some of the reviewed SAWG design concepts are based on a combination of several physical principles (for example, optical measurements), researchers from other fields may find useful solutions for incorporating surface acoustic wave techniques into their device concepts.
