Abstract

Gyroscope is an instrument widely used in the navigation systems for sensing inertial angular motion. One of the principle of Gyroscope is Coriolis Vibrating Gyroscope (CVG), which is simple and easy to operate. It is realized during the development of the CVG that it is most suitable inertial sensor for aerospace applications. In this paper, a novel method for high reliable gyroscope application is demonstrated to verify the ‘Mode 2’ vibration pattern of vibrating hemispherical metallic shell. A parallel plate capacitor arrangement is made by placing discrete metallic plates around the metallic shell to study the vibration mode pattern. The shell vibrating at this particular mode, flexes along the axial direction of capacitor. The air gap of the parallel plate capacitor changes as the shell vibrates. The ‘Mode 2’ vibration pattern from the shell is confirmed by studying the phase relation at different capacitor locations.
