Title: Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscopes
Presented by: Dr. David Lynch, Independent Consultant
Abstract: The dynamical variables of every CVG, after suitable normalization, satisfy the equations of the two-dimensional oscillator (or, equivalently, of the Foucault pendulum). Thus the pendulum variables (the lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axes, the pendulum angle, and the pendulum phase) are the natural choice of variables for an analysis by the method of averaging. This analysis is most conveniently carried out using a matrix representation of the variables. A detailed analysis of the Hemispherical Resonator Gyro (HRG) is developed (using Rayleigh’s inextensional approximation) to illustrate the approach. A derivation and discussion of the HRG electrical model is included.
Monday, March 23 10:30 AM
Title: Introduction to Atom-based gyros
Presented by: Dr. Mike Larsen, Northrop Grumman; co-presenter: Dr. Frank Narducci
Abstract: Atom based gyroscopes have been an active area of research since the early 1950s. The two leading approaches are based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Free-Space Atom Interferometry (FSAI). This tutorial will cover the basic science behind NMR and FSAI based gyroscopes, the fundamental known performance limitations, and some of the particular features of the different technologies. This tutorial will also lay the groundwork for a common and universal language for describing atom based inertial sensors. This is the first in what will be a series of tutorials on atom based sensor technologies that will be presented at the IEEE ISISS conference over the coming years.
Monday, March 23 2:00 PM
Title: Fundamentals of Inertial Navigation
Presented by: Randall Jaffe, L-3 Communications
Abstract: The performance of inertial sensors is often confusing to understand. The values reported on specifications may not be appropriate to represent the performance in a given application. This class will focus on defining the terms commonly found on data sheets and in specifications, describing methods of measuring each of the sensitivities, and then combining the terms into an error budget that can be used to tune an integrated navigation filter.
