    摘要: The use of a high speed moving average filter is shown to filter high speed errors, including white noise in angle and quantization errors, from the output data of a ring laser gyro while it is being tested. The filtered data permits investigation of the lower speed, random walk in angle error of the gyro being tested. For best results, several moving average filters are connected in series.

    摘要: Apparatus, systems, and methods to control a plurality of gyroscopes utilizing intermediate frequencies are disclosed. The gyroscopes are configured to operate at the same pre-determined intermediate frequency. To accomplish this, the natural frequency of each gyroscope is determined, and a reference signal is added to the output signal of its respective gyroscope such that the sum of the natural frequency and the reference signal frequency equals the pre-determined intermediate frequency. The output signal from each gyroscope is transmitted to a common inertial data processor, and the inertial data processor outputs a directional signal. The directional signal includes a representation of angles from an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis. Since each signal output by the gyroscopes has the same frequency, the loss of data is decreased and the accuracy of the data increased.

    摘要: The invention is a method for reading out a vibratory rotation sensor comprising the steps of (1) driving the vibratory rotation sensor with a plurality of driving signals and (2) obtaining one or more readout signals resulting from the interaction of the driving signals and the vibratory rotation sensor. The functional dependence of all tracking-angle-dependent driving signals is expressible for a specified range of tracking-angle values as a single specific function of the tracking angle. A tracking-angle-dependent driving signal is the sum of two or more component signals where only one of the component signals is dependent on tracking angle. The single specific function specified for any one of a plurality of tracking-angle range of values can be the same as or different than the single specific function specified for any other tracking-angle range of values. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the single specific function is the tangent of twice the tracking angle for certain tracking-angle ranges of values and is the cotangent of twice the tracking angle for other tracking-angle ranges of values. The readout signal has a functional dependence on both the tracking angle and the difference of the orientation angle of the standing wave pattern associated with the vibratory rotation sensor and the tracking angle.

    摘要: A ring laser gyro having a cavity with at least one transducer-actuated mirror is controlled to conform to a preselected model of cavity operation. Control is accomplished by sampling cavity data, comparing the data to the model to generate an error signal, and controlling the mirror according to the error signal. In a preferred embodiment, at least two mirrors are dithered and the model defines an optimal amplitude of mirror dither at which theoretical lock-in error is zero. In another preferred embodiment, the sampled data corresponds to laser intensity within the cavity and the model defines an optimal intensity displaced from the maximum within an operating mode of the cavity. The model may define a plurality of operating modes of the cavity, ranked according to gyro performance for different values of a preselected environmental condition. The environmental condition is then sensed on an ongoing basis and used to select an optimal mode.

    摘要: Cooling apparatus is provided which comprises a mechanical refrigerator and a heat pipe. The mechanical refrigerator has a first cooled stage and a second cooled stage, the second cooled stage being adapted to be coupled thermally with target apparatus to be cooled. The heat pipe has a first part coupled thermally to the first stage of the mechanical refrigerator and a second part coupled thermally to a cooled member which may comprise the second stage of the mechanical refrigerator. The heat pipe is adapted to contain a condensable gaseous coolant when in use. An example coolant is Krypton. The apparatus is operated in a first cooling mode in which the temperature of the cooled member causes the coolant within the second part of the heat pipe to be gaseous and the temperature of the first stage causes the coolant in the first part to condense, whereby the cooled member is cooled by the movement of the condensed liquid is from the first part to the second part of the heat pipe. When the cooled member is the second stage of the mechanical refrigerator, the heat pipe provides heat between the higher and lower temperature cooled stages during cooling. An associated method of operating such apparatus is also described.

    摘要: In a vibrating rotation sensor of the hemispherical resonator gyro type (HRG), operating in the whole angle mode wherein the standing-wave components are measured to provide a measure of the pattern angle, the digital signal processor functions to control the digital to analog converter output signal in order to keep the highly amplified analog to digital input signal, the difference between the pattern angle and excitation angle, within the analog to digital converter window. The analog to digital converter window is set at n times the discrete level of the digital to analog converter. A digital feedback loop in the digital signal processor continually corrects the tracking angle to control the excitation voltage.
