    摘要: A control system includes a processor that operates one or more control loops that enable gyroscopic angular measurement for an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Each of the one or more control loops operates over a range of set points defined for each of the respective control loops. A dynamic loop adjuster receives environmental input data to determine environmental conditions for the IMU. The dynamic loop adjuster alters at least one of the set points for at least one of the one or more control loops operated by the processor based on the determined environmental conditions.

    摘要: One example includes a navigation system. The navigation system includes an inertial navigation system (INS) that is configured to provide a coordinate frame corresponding to an inertial reference of the INS relative to a geodetic coordinate system. The coordinate frame includes a reference axis that defines a reference orientation of the INS. The system also includes an optical tracking device configured to obtain a reference image to determine an orientation of a boresight axis of the optical tracking device. The system further includes an alignment controller configured to compare the reference axis based on the coordinate frame and the boresight axis based on the reference image to determine an angular misalignment between the reference axis and the boresight axis, and to adjust the reference orientation to align the reference axis to the boresight axis based on the determined angular misalignment.

    摘要: A system is provided for controlling the amplitude of a vibrating resonant sensor through a drive signal applied to the resonator. The system comprises a controller that provides the drive signal to a forcer coupled to the resonator to excite the resonator into vibration at its resonant frequency. The system further comprises a buffer having an input node that receives charge of a pickoff capacitor of the resonator that is a measure of the resonator vibration and a current reference waveform. The buffer provides an output that is a difference signal that represents an error of the resonator vibration that corresponds to a difference between the measured resonator vibration and the current reference waveform, wherein the controller adjusts the drive signal in order to null the difference signal.

    摘要: A fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) is provided. The FOG comprises a depolarizer that receives light from a light source, a multifunction integrated optic chip (MIOC) and a sensing coil coupled to outputs of the MIOC. The FOG also includes a polarizer coupled between an output of the depolarizer and an input of the MIOC. The polarizer mitigates polarization non-reciprocity (PNR) bias error and enhances the polarization extinction ratio (PER) of the FOG.
