摘要

In this paper, a Kalman filter for combining outputs of a gyroscope array is presented to improve the accuracy of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope. A theoretical mathematical model for the accuracy improvement is described. Especially, a discrete-time filter is designed by solving the covariance differential equation with an analytic solution. Performances of presented filter are analyzed by the simulations. Finally, a developed system consisting of six-gyroscope array is implemented to test the performance of the Kalman filter. The experimental results showed a noise density of 0.03°/s/√Hz for the combined rate signal compared to the 0.11°/s/√Hz for the individual gyroscope in the array. The analysis of results measured from Allan variance demonstrated a bias instability of 17.2°/h and angular random walk of 1.6°/√h, whereas the corresponding values for the individual gyroscope is 62°/h and 6.2°/√h, respectively. It proved that the presented approach is effective to improve the MEMS gyroscope accuracy.
