    摘要： Apparatus is used in sensing a measured input. The apparatus includes a capacitor with a capacitance that varies non-linearly in response to the measured input, and a circuitry that derives, from the capacitance, a signal that varies substantially linearly with the measured input. The capacitor includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a gap defined by a space between the electrode. The circuitry includes an amplifier with a first input terminal in electrical communication with the first electrode, a second input terminal, and an output terminal in electrical communication with the second electrode. The capacitance of the capacitor varies as an inverse of the gap of the capacitor, the gap of the capacitor varies in response to changes in the measured input, and the signal is derived from an output of the amplifier.

    摘要： An automatic gain calibration system for a phase modulator for forcing a predetermined phase shift amplitude includes a phase modulator responsive to an applied voltage for modulating the phase of a radiation beam. The frequency spectrum of the modulated radiation beam is converted to the electrical domain where a selected even harmonic of the spectrum is nulled. The scaling circuit then responds to the amplitude of voltage applied to the phase modulator that obtains the phase shift which produced the nulling of the selected even harmonic and scales that voltage to generate the predetermined phase shift amplitude which is desired.

    摘要： Interference in a rotation rate detector signal of an interferometric fiber-optic gyroscope from a bias phase modulator signal may be reduced or substantially avoided by transmitting one or more off-frequency signals having a frequency other than the eigenfrequency of the gyroscope towards a bias phase modulator, generating the bias phase modulator signal having a frequency substantially equal to the eigenfrequency of the gyroscope, and driving the bias phase modulator with the bias phase modulator signal.

    摘要： Electronics for use in Coriolis and other sensors for reducing errors in the sensor output signal. The electronics includes an off-frequency drive scheme for reducing in-band drive signal coupling to the output signal and techniques for reducing errors in the sensor output signal due to quadrature and phase shift. The off-frequency drive scheme includes a frequency translation circuit in the excitation feedback loop of a sensor system to suppress components of the sensor drive signal at a predetermined frequency so that coupling of the drive signal to the sensor output signal can be readily removed by conventional filtering techniques. The sensor system includes a nonlinear input transducer for converting the drive signal to a force signal such that the force signal has a component at the predetermined frequency while the drive signal does not. A tuned circuit amplifies and filters the frequency shifted output signal of the translation circuit to provide the drive signal. Also provided is a sense bias generator including a tuned circuit for amplifying the available bias supply voltage to enhance sensitivity.

    摘要： A micromechanical tuning fork gyroscope having two center electrodes is disclosed. The two center electrodes are excited with bias potentials of opposite polarity. The oppositely biased center electrodes provide electrical symmetry across the gyroscope and thereby reduce charge transients and sensitivity to vertical translation. Currents injected directly into the proof masses are equal and opposite and thus cancel. Motor lift forces acting on the proof masses and interleaved electrodes are equal, and hence the proof masses move in pure translation, thereby reducing in-phase bias. Further, any pure translation normal to the plane of the gyroscope does effect sense axis output signals.
