FIBER OPTIC GYROSCOPE

摘要

An apparatus for eliminating or reducing vibration-induced errors due to vibration rectification by applying a variable weighting function at the demodulator or analog-to-digital converter by changing the size of the demodulator reference signal or the converter gain, respectively. The changing is performed within the frequency spectrum of the vibration. Sampling of the detector output may be utilized and the samples are accumulated and processed to remove the variations due to vibration, and the rotation rate is recovered by digital demodulation.
