A strain gauged-based accelerometer is based on detecting the deflection of a seismic mass using a silicon or foil, strain-gauged element. A Whetstone-bridge network detects the deflection. The deflection is directly proportional to the acceleration applied to the sensor. Like the piezo-resistive accelerometer, it has a frequency response down to zero Hz.
