    摘要: A gyroscope assembly (10) includes a ring-shaped fiber optic coil (14) and a coil conforming enclosure (12, 16) of high magnetic permeability ferromagnetic material. The enclosure is ring-shaped to conform with the shape of the coil, and includes a portion (22) extending within the internal hole of the coil ring. Therefore, the coil is intimately and fully encased within high magnetic permeability material. In particular, the enclosure comprises a coil supporting spool (12) and a cover (16) secured to the spool. The spool includes a base (18) which is provided with a central hole (20) and a tubular wall (22) extending perpendicularly from the base. Coil (14) is bonded to base (18). Both the spool and the cover are formed of high magnetic permeability material, and the cover is placed about the fiber optic coil and attached to the spool. The coefficient of thermal expansion material used for the spool is matched to that of the coil pack to minimize stress imposed upon the fiber. An outer shield (28), roughly cylindrical in shape, may be further attached to the outside of the inner, toroidal shield, and the two shields are separated by a layer of low magnetic permeability material, such as of low magnetic permeability stainless steel or aluminum.

    摘要: A gyroscope component (10) and its variations (10a, 10b and 10c) includes a spool (12, 12a) which supports a ring-shaped fiber optic gyroscope coil (14). The spool has a base (26, 26a) which is provided with a central hole (38, 38a). A perpendicularly extending tubular wall (28, 28a) extends from the base or a cover (16, 16a), and may directly contact the coil or be separated therefrom by a non-adhesive material (29) or a space (30). The cover covers the spools and, with the spool and the tubular wall, forms a ring-shaped enclosure. Each coil has a generally trapezoidal shape and comprises an optical fiber winding wound about an axis and having a cross-sectional configuration that approximates a 45.degree. right triangle whose hypotenuse is formed by the sloped sides to provide a side which is sloped with respect to its axis. Three components (10, 10", 10"') are positioned respectively about three orthogonally disposed axes to form an assembly (50) and are supported within and enclosed by a housing (52). The arrangement of the enclosures positions the coils such that their sloped hypotenuse sides face one another. The spool (12, 12a), the cover (16, 16a), the tubular wall (28, 28a) and the housing (52) are formed of a ferromagnetic material having high relative (.mu./.mu.0) permeability.

    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: 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.

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: 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.
