A high‐performance microwave gyroscope (MG) is theoretically developed for the first time to our knowledge. The MG is based on the Sagnac effect in a microwave ring resonator, where a specially tailored phase shifter (PS) on the basis of surface acoustic waves is inserted. In the result, the MG has a few orders higher sensitivity and dynamic range than state‐of‐the‐art laser gyros, so it can serve as an advanced rotation sensor in navigation and fundamental sciences. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
