Abstract
The FM gyroscope measures rate directly as a frequency variation and employs rate chopping to reject drift. The scale factor is set by a reference clock. Symmetric and asymmetric readout modes enable trading off long- versus short-term errors without changing the transducer or circuits. Chopped at 10 Hz, the prototype achieves better than 40 ppm scale factor accuracy, 1.5 deg/h1.5 rate random walk in symmetric mode, and 1 mdps/rt-Hz ARW in asymmetric mode.
