Vibrating element angular rate sensors for precision applications
Abstract
It is shown that a low-cost vibrating element angular rate sensor can be configured to meet the requirements of navigation systems. This is done by increasing the size of the sensor and/or by spinning the sensor to null balance the signal. No limiting factors to restrict the degree of improvement which can be achieved have been found. This implies that these methods could be used to meet almost any navigation system requirement for angular rate sensing.
