    摘要: In an exemplary display system adapted to display an image to an observer using a display where at least one of the display and observer is subjected to physical vibration referred to as jitter, accelerometers are mounted to elements subject to jitter and associated with the observer. A processing system uses acceleration measurements from the accelerometers to calculate an x-axis and y-axis jitter correction factors based on a comparison of the acceleration measurements, and generates a video output in which the visual information is displaced along the x-axis and y-axis based on the x-axis and y-axis jitter correction factors so that an image corresponding to the video output shown on the display appears to the observer as not having jitter.

    摘要: A closed loop gain circuit controls the gain of a variable gain amplifier and provides a stable AGC response irrespective of the actual gain level. The amplifier may be arranged to amplify electrical signals output from a fiber optic gyroscope. A perturbation injection circuit provides a perturbation signal ±d to a phase modulator connected to the fiber optic gyro. A perturbation compensation circuit applies perturbation compensation signals to signals output from the variable gain amplifier and produces a compensated signal by reducing the magnitude of the perturbation in the amplified signal output from the variable gain amplifier. A gain error circuit connected to the perturbation compensation circuit produces a gain error signal that indicates the magnitude of the perturbation signal remaining in the amplified signal after perturbation compensation. A feedback system provides a gain control signal to the variable gain amplifier to reduce the magnitude of the gain error signal.

    摘要: A phase and intensity modulated IFOG has a light source responsive to an intensity modulation signal for providing an intensity modulated light signal. A Sagnac interferometer has a fiber optic coil. The coil receives and circulates a clockwise and counter-clockwise beams. The Sagnac interferometer is responsive to an intensity modulated light signal at a first input port, and to a phase modulation signal at a phase modulation input terminal for outputting a non-reciprocal interference signal. A PSD detector system responds to the non-reciprocal interference signal and provides a demodulated bias signal. An intensity signal generator has an output that provides the intensity modulation signal. A phase signal generator provides the phase modulation signal to the phase modulation input terminal. The intensity signal generator and the phase signal generator have a common frequency. The phase difference &thgr; between the phase modulation signal and the intensity modulation signal is adjustable in response to at least a first control signal. A computer with a digitizing sampler is coupled to receive and digitize successive sample values of the demodulated bias signal. The computer executes a program that adjusts the phase difference &thgr; between the intensity modulation signal and the phase modulation signal to drive the amplitude of the sample values of the demodulated bias signals to a minimum. The computer program successively calculates and outputs an estimate of the input rotation rate about the Sagnac sensitive axis as a function of the phase angle &thgr;.

    摘要: A dithered Coriolis acceleration sensor system has a proof mass that is free of feedback in the accelerometer servo loop at the dither frequency by totally notching out all feedback torque at this frequency. The proof mass relative motion is then a direct measure of the rate because there is no feedback torque to alter the proof mass response to the acceleration. The feedback modulation system according to the invention captures the Coriolis-sensor output such that the phase and gain of the signal generated from the sensor are of no concern in maintaining good scale factor.

    摘要: An automatic gain control system for a fiber optic gyroscope control loop includes an adjustable gain applied to the gyro output signal. A pilot signal is injected into the fiber optic gyroscope control loop. A compensation loop receives signals output from the control loop and also receives pilot signals. The compensation loop processes the pilot signal to produce a compensation signal that is combined with signals output from the control loop to provide a compensated fiber optic gyroscope output signal. An automatic gain control loop is connected between the compensation loop and the adjustable gain applied to the fiber optic gyroscope output signal. The automatic gain control loop includes a gain error demodulator that multiplies the compensated fiber optic gyroscope output signal and the compensation signal together to produce a gain error signal used to control the adjustable gain in order to stabilize the gain of the gyro control loop.

    摘要: A fiber optic gyroscope signal process dither system permits application of a low amplitude dither signal for many sampling periods without increasing the noise in the sampled outputs due to residual dither signals. A dither loop and an accumulator are added to a closed loop fiber optic gyroscope rotation sensing system. The dither loop has a delay and a gain that are adjusted to match the gain and delay of the fiber gyro loop. A zero mean dither of amplitude sufficient to break up the deadband is injected into to gyro and the dither loop. The dither loop filters the dither signal in the same manner as the gyro loop to provide a signal that is input to a differencing circuit to remove the dither signal from the gyro output.
