Analytical modeling of synchronous demodulation of a multi-DOF gyro-accelerometer

Abstract

This paper reports a analytical model of a 4-DOF gyro-accelerometer consisting of 2-DOF drive and 2-DOF sense oscillators configured orthogonally. A detection scheme for time varying angular rate and linear acceleration, by combining the structural-model of gyro-accelerometer with the processes of synchronous demodulation and filtration, has also been spelt out to investigate frequency responses at the event of angular motion and linear acceleration. Finally, the results of the model have been validated by comparing with MATLAB®/Simulink data which shows excellent matching with each other.
