Conclusions (Calibration)
 Both R-1 and R-2 can provide useful data, however:
 R-1




Frequency response is not flat
Sensitivity is not normalized
Has aging problem (needs regular calibration)
Linearity is about 6% (under 8 mrad/s input)
 R-2





Instrument noise is somewhat higher than the R-1
Sensitivity and frequency response are not normalized
The pass-band is flatter than R-1
Linearity is improved (2%, under 8 mard/s input)
Self calibration works well at low frequency but not high

~(find azimuth angle)
 North-finding is important, especially for:
tunnel engineering
inertial navigation
Missile navigation
Submarine navigation
seismometer deployment
mobile robot navigation
 North can be found by several techniques:
Magnetic compass
Sun compass
Astronomical
GPS compass
Gyro compass

 Advantage : very easy to use
 Disadvantage :
 Subject to large error sources from local ferrous material,
even a hat rim or belt buckle
 Need to correct for magnetic declination

Resolution …
 Resolution is related to the accuracy of the mean value
 How much time it takes to determine the mean value
with most accuracy??
→ Allan Deviation Analysis is the proper way
to evaluate accuracy

A quantitative way to measure
•
the accuracy of the mean value → resolution
•

conclusions

North finder and attitude estimator can
be and are implemented by DC-type
gyro.
An efficient way to find the true north is:
 First, use a north finder to find arbitrary azimuth
angle
 Second, rotate that azimuth angle with an attitude
estimator
