RESUMO

Fiber Optic gyroscopes are an important part of inertial navigation systems. To meet the necessary specifications required for application in inertial systems, it is mandatory that the electronic Sagnac demodulator uses state of the art devices. The proposal of this work is to study and develop a technique to correct all together for the nonlinearities, the bias drift and scale factor stability, found in gyroscope electronic circuits, in order to improve the gyroscope performance. An optical circuit emulator, was developed using a software written in LabVIEW. The software controls an arbitrary wave generator and calculate the optical circuit output signal using a theoretical formulation. The results of the emulated signal are compared with theoretical values of a Sagnac interferometer and presents only §0; 02% difference error. It was developed a new calibration system that uses look-up-table technique to compensate for the thermal drift and correct the circuit non-linearities. This correction technique improves bias drift from 0; 15±=h to 0; 065±=h, for the temperature range 35±C to 75±C; scale factor stability from §1000ppm to §175ppm, for the temperature range 35±C to 75±C and linearity from 3% to 0; 03%
