Noise Analysis of MEMS Gyroscopes by means of Alan Variance


Abstract in English

In this paper, A random modeling has been performed for gyroscopes' components noise in unit measurements inertial Crossbow IMU400CD MEMS by Alan Variance. Three random components were discriminated in the noise sensors in addition to the estimated coefficients of these components, while the technical bulletin did not mention but one component. Knowing the random noise type gives the ability to use it as an output component of the navigational system; estimating it with the navigation support means such as GPS or magnetic compass or ... etc. enables to correct gyroscopes out. Inertial sensors Gyroscopes are gaining nowadays more and more research interest in a variety of transport fields (i. e. land, sea and air). Recent efforts are going towards developing those traditional electromechanical models to electronic manufacturer microenvironment technology called Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS). But in return MEMS gyroscopes suffer precision low when compared to other types as a result of errors, many appear on the output of particular random errors that can't be deleted methodologies calibration known, so it is classified as a type of noise or random processes where they are modeled using random modeling techniques stochastic Modeling to identify and distinguish types of noise in the sensor output. Among the most famous of these techniques mode Allan Variance (AV).
