A Novel Closed-Loop Single-Channel Time Division Multiplexing Detection Circuit for Hemispherical Resonator Gyroscope.

The vector control method is applied to a whole angle hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG). The detection and control of the resonator vibration state are implemented using orthogonal X/Y channels. However, the performance of the HRG is limited by the asymmetry in the gain and phase delay of X/Y channels. To address these issues, a novel detection circuit is proposed. The circuit leverages the closed-loop characteristics to achieve symmetry and stability in the X/Y channel gain while simultaneously eliminating phase delays within the loop. Firstly, a closed-loop single-channel time division multiplexing circuit is designed to overcome the deficiencies of the traditional dual-channel circuit. Secondly, a model is developed to analyze the time division detection errors, and an improved demodulation method is proposed to mitigate detection errors. Lastly, experimental results demonstrate that the designed circuit successfully suppresses drift in both gain and phase delay within the loop, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed solution in enhancing the performance of the HRG.
