Electrostatic Tuning of a Micro-Ring Gyroscope

Gallacher B.J., Hedley J., Burdess J.S., Harris A.J., Rickard A., King D., Insat University of Newcastle, UK

This paper describes a procedure for identifying and correcting anisoinertia and anisoelasticity present in a micro-ring gyroscope. The major disadvantages of popular tuning methods such as mass trimming using laser ablation or focussed ion beam [...]

The Application of Parametric Excitation to a Micro-Ring Gyroscope

Gallacher B.J., Burdess J.S., Harris A.J., Hedley J., Insat University of Newcastle, UK

This paper reports on a parametric excitation scheme that separates the drive and response frequencies of a micro-ring gyroscope in the ratio 10:1 approximately, with the aim of minimising electrical "feedthrough". Electrical feedthrough of the [...]
