Abstract:
A novel closed-loop control strategy of a silicon micro-gyroscope(SMG)is proposed.The SMG is sealed in metal can package in drive and sense modes and works under the air pressure of 10 Pa. Its quality factor reaches greater than 10 000.Self-oscillating and closed-loop methods based on electrostatic force feedback are adopted in both measure and control circuits.Both single side driving and sensing methods are used to simplify the drive circuit.These dual channel decomposition and reconstruction closed loops are applied in sense modes.The testing results demonstrate that useful signals and guadrature signals do not interact with each other because of the decoupling of their phases.Under the condition of a scale factor of 9.6 mV/((°)·s), in a full measurement range of ±300(°)/s, the zero bias stability reaches 28(°)/h with a nonlinear coefficient of 400×10-6 and a simulated bandwidth of more than 100 Hz.The overall performance is improved by two orders of magnitude in comparison to that at atmospheric pressure.
