    摘要: Disclosed herein is a Ring Laser Gyroscope Enhanced Resolution System comprising, in a preferred embodiment, a sampling frequency modulation phase-locked loop (or "chirp") which is used in combination with the fast filter. Enhanced resolution is achieved by using the fast filter (preferably a moving average digital filter) to gather optically integrated rate data and accumulate this data. During the data gathering process, the accumulated data is sampled at a rate set by a frequency modulated ("chirper") phase-locked loop in order to remove undesirable data due to aliasing effects upon the digital filter. In this manner, an enhanced resolution of the gyroscope angular measurement is achieved.

    摘要: A dither drive system for a ring laser gyroscope includes a computer, a digital to analog converter, a filter, and a power amplifier. The system senses the dither frequency of the gyro frame and produces a digital signal that corresponds to a specified dither drive signal and toggles the dither drive signal to drive the flexure at its resonant frequency. The dither drive system generates digital waveforms that approximate the sine function and digital waveforms that approximate the cosine function and applies the digital waveforms in quadrature to the flexure.

    摘要: A method of distinguishing an analog drive signal from a pickoff signal for attenuating the effect of electrical cross-coupling between the analog drive signal and the pickoff signal. The method may include receiving a periodic digital signal at a first frequency in the form of a stream of digital data values, randomly inverting at least one of the digital data values and converting the stream of digital data values to a stream of analog data values to form an analog drive signal. The method may also include driving a sensor, physically coupled to a resonant member configured to oscillate at a second frequency, using the analog drive signal and sensing changes in the movement of the resonant member detected by the sensor for producing a pickoff signal.

    摘要: Multiple isolators are configured with respect to an assembly (101), such as a sensor assembly in an inertial navigation system or other system where cross-axis acceleration or rotation coupling is undesirable. The system utilizes a set of isolators (203, 209, 215, and 221; 305, 307, 311, 313, 317, 319, 323, 325; or 403, 405, 407, 411, 413, and 415) that are substantially matched to each other, but may have uncorrelated axial stiffness and radial stiffness. The system configuration does not introduce cross-axis coupling, such as cross-axis translational coupling and cross-axis rotational coupling.

    摘要: The invention is a method and apparatus for processing signals with frequencies fL and fR from a multioscillator ring laser gyro, the method being repeated at regular time intervals. The difference f&Dgr;&thgr;, of fL and fR is a measure of the angular rotation rate of the ring laser gyro and the sum fF of fL and fR divided by 2 is the Faraday bias frequency. The first step of the method comprises determining two or more of the values MLP, MRP, MFP, and M&Dgr;&thgr;P of a set of functions ML(fL), MR(fR), MF(fF), and M&Dgr;&thgr;(f&Dgr;&thgr;). The second step comprises storing two or more processed values MLS, MRS, MFS, and M&Dgr;&thgr;S of the functions ML(fL), MR(fR), MF(fF), and M&Dgr;&thgr;(f&Dgr;&thgr;) if the corresponding values of MLP, MRP, MFP, and M&Dgr;&thgr;P are valid. A processed value is derived from the value for the present time interval and zero or more processed values for prior time intervals. The third step comprises determining f&Dgr;&thgr;P or a function thereof from zero or more valid function values obtained as a result of executing the first step during the current time interval, zero or more processed values obtained as a result of executing the second step during a prior time interval, and zero or more extrapolated values obtained by extrapolating the processed values obtained as a result of executing the second step during a prior time interval to the present time interval.

    摘要: A phase modulator applies sequences of artificial phase shifts in the region of overmodulation between light beams counterpropagating within the sensor coil of a Sagnac interferometer to obtain improved random walk performance. The sequences are composed of phase shifts of .+-.a.pi./2b and .+-.(4b-a).pi./2b where a is an odd integer and b is an integer greater than 1. The waveform for driving the phase modulator is derived from a 2.pi. radian mapping plotted so that adjacent driving signal values differ by a.pi./2b or -(4b-a).pi./2b in a first angular direction and by -a.pi./2b or by (4b-a).pi./2b in the opposite angular direction. Angular transitions about the mapping may be predetermined to generate a deterministic, random, or pseudo-random modulation sequence. In the event that a deterministic sequence is chosen, it is examined for orthogonality properties to assume zero average output bias from crosstalk.

    摘要: The invention is a method and apparatus for generating a primary pseudorandom bit sequence consisting of a plurality of contiguous P subsequences. Each P subsequence consists of a start sequence of predetermined length followed by a sequence of trailing bits. The method comprises three steps. The first step consists of deriving a feedback bit from each generating sequence in a P subsequence in accordance with a specified rule where a generating sequence is any sequence of contiguous bits in the P subsequence having the same length as the start sequence. The bit that follows a generating sequence is called the trailing bit for that generating sequence. The second step of the method consists of determining a sequence of one or more modifier bits to be used in modifying the P subsequence. The third step of the method consists of modifying the P subsequence utilizing the one or more modifier bits.
