Design and Experiment for N = 3 Wineglass Mode Metal Cylindrical Resonator Gyroscope Closed-Loop System

This paper studies a kind of gyro structure of N = 3 Wineglass Mode Metal Cylindrical Resonator Gyroscope (WMMCRG). Compared with traditional Cylindrical Vibrating Gyroscope (CVG), the designed structure has higher scale factor and lower frequency split. This paper provides a more specific processing method and the parameters of resonator materials. A closed-loop controlling system with low error and low noise is designed for WMMCRG. The system is composed of three independent closed-loop systems: drive closed-loop, sensing closed-loop, and quadrature error correction closed-loop. Through the test of the high-precision turntable, under the premise of the same material and processing technology, the bias instability, bias stability, zero bias, Angular Random Walk (ARW), and frequency split of WMMCRG is 1.974°/h, 10.869°/h, 10.3323°/s, 16 (°)/√h, 0.02 Hz, respectively.
