Closed loop scale factor estimation

摘要

A closed loop scale factor estimator of an apparatus in one example is configured to compare a measured flex angle of a hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG) with a demodulation angle signal to estimate a force-to-rebalance (FTR) scale factor for the HRG, wherein the demodulation angle signal corresponds to an integral of a non-uniform rate signal applied to the HRG.
