We used programmable arrayed trimming capacitors to remove feedthrough and increase the dynamic range of the amplifiers by 30dB in the direct differential.

This work details key benefits of applying a very low noise digital control and demodulation approach that extends InertialWave's previous work on generalized feedback control of capacitive CVG's [3]. This has been demonstrated at breadboard level to further reduce rate noise toward the very low, 60 μdeg/rt-h mechanical thermal noise (MTN) inherent in its massive 23 mm, high quality resonator and points to a clear path for achieving navigation grade performance in a mass producible CVG and compact three-axis IRU or IMU assembly.","PeriodicalId":237642,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Inertial Sensors and Systems (INERTIAL)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130571679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to its inherent low random noise and its scalability, FOG technology is one of the very few technologies able to cope with the applications requiring the highest performance. Recently, Optolink has presented new fiber-optic gyroscope SRS-5000 with bias performance, amongst the best closed loop fiber-optic gyroscope performance published to date. The aim of the current work was to produce and to estimate the performance of inertial measurement unit (IMU) and strapdown inertial navigation systems (SINS) pilot series on the basis of SRS-5000 FOG — IMU-5000 and SINS-5000, correspondingly. Measured device parameters (ARW around 0.000069 deg/Vh with a bias stability of better than 0.00008 deg/h) allow to assess these kind of devices as the highest-precision strategic grade fiber-optic gyroscopes' based IMU, commercially available. Pilot units of SINS-5000 show alignment accuracy limit down to RMS 0.005° in series of 9-minute alignments. Static tests show coordinates drift of ∼10 Nm over 7 days of operation. We believe the performance of these strategic-grade IMU and SINS may be useful in a range of high precision navigation, metrology, seismology, and structural sensing applications, as well as calibration of inertial test equipment.","PeriodicalId":237642,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Inertial Sensors and Systems (INERTIAL)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115848202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a suite of resonators from two different wafers — one with and one without diffusion doping — is characterized and compared. By diffusing dopants through exposed sidewalls of silicon resonators within an epitaxial polysilicon encapsulation process, this technique demonstrates a dramatic reduction in the resonator's frequency-temperature sensitivity, one of the significant disadvantages of silicon as a resonator material. Moreover, because thicker geometries are less affected by lateral diffusion, this method provides capability to independently manipulate frequency-temperature behaviors of different resonant systems fabricated on the same wafer.","PeriodicalId":237642,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Inertial Sensors and Systems (INERTIAL)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115145310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resonators are made from a piece of a commercially available fused quartz tube. The proposed technology makes it possible to produce such resonators without the use of precision machining, while the quality factor of such a resonator in the kilohertz frequency range reaches 1,000,000. Although this quality factor is much lower than that of precision quartz hemispherical resonators, it considerably exceeds the Q-factor of metal cylindrical resonators. In addition, the stability of the dissipative characteristics of the new resonators is also significantly increased. On the whole, this reduces the systematic drift of the device and its instability. These advantages of the new resonators allow us to significantly increase the accuracy of CVGs for inertial systems of medium and low accuracy without increasing their cost price. The report presents the designs and characteristics of such resonators, the methods of their balancing, as well as the possible constructive appearance of CVGs based on such resonators.","PeriodicalId":237642,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Inertial Sensors and Systems (INERTIAL)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126031652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
