Method and apparatus for monitoring angle random walk of a fiber optic gyroscope |
摘要 |
A system for determining a level of angle random walk (ARW) associated with a fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) includes first and second photodiodes. The first photodiode is configured to receive a first light signal from a light source associated with the FOG. The second photodiode is configured to receive a second light signal from a fiber optic coil associated with the FOG. First and second analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are operable to respectively convert the first and second light signals into corresponding respective first and second digital signals. A digital relative-intensity-noise (RIN) subtraction element is configured to receive the first and second digital signals and output a third signal based on the first and second digital signals. An electronic device is configured to determine a first noise level associated with the third signal, and determine the ARW level from the first noise level.
