چکیده
This paper presents detailed performance status and projections for the silicon MEMS Quadruple Mass Gyroscope (QMG) – a unique high Q, lumped mass, mode-symmetric Class II Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscope (CVG) with interchangeable whole angle, self-calibration, and force rebalance mechanizations. Analysis of a QMG sealed without getter with a Q-factor of 1e3 reveals an Angle Random Walk (ARW) of 0.02 deg/rt-hr limited only by the fundamental Mechanical-Thermal Noise (MTN). Propagation of a detailed noise model to a QMG sealed with getter at a Q-factor of 1e6 (previously demonstrated) showed better than Navigation Grade ARW of 0.001 deg/rt-hr. Combination of the very low ARW with the mode-symmetry enabled self-calibration substantiates the navigation grade performance capacity of the Si-
