    Abstract: A microelectromechanical device is provided. A vibrating structure gyroscope included in the device employs a temporal differential sensing method alone or a spatial differential sensing method in combination with the temporal differential sensing method. When used in combination, the temporal sensing method may be applied before the spatial sensing method or applied after the spatial sensing method. The temporal differential sensing samples signals at times t1 and t2 when velocity of a sensing mass within the vibrating structure gyroscope is maximum and has an opposite sign. The temporal sensing method improves Euler and Centrifugal forces cancellation and increases the signal to noise ratio if forces remain equal at times t1 and t2. Applying a high sampling speed can result in times t1 and t2 being sufficiently close to each other and therefore cancel any error terms associated with Euler and Centrifugal forces.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a magnetometer that outputs magnetometer sensor signals and a gyroscope that outputs gyroscope sensor signals. The electronic device includes a magnetometer calibration module that calibrates the magnetometer utilizing the gyroscope sensor signals. The electronic device generates a first magnetometer calibration parameter based on a Kalman filter process. The electronic device generates a second magnetometer calibration parameter based on a least squares estimation process.
