Abstract
This paper presents an in-run scale factor error compensation for the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope without system calibration and data fitting. The causes of three scale factor errors (instability, nonlinearity, and asymmetry) are analyzed. Next, the instability and nonlinearity by open-loop detection (Mode I), and closed-loop detection (Mode II) are discussed according to the specific comb capacitance and the front-end detection circuit. The closed-loop detection transfer function is studied, and a series of equivalent conversions are performed to obtain a method (Mode III) for improving the temperature stability of scale factor. The results of the experiment indicated that the nonlinearity and asymmetry of the Mode II and Mode III are increased by 1.8 times and 3.5 times than that of Mode I. Furthermore, the instability of Mode II and Mode III is reduced by 10 times and 19 times over -20°C to 40°C. Besides, the mode III does not affect the static and dynamic performance of gyroscope according to the test results of bias and bandwidth.
