본 논문은 소형화, 저가, 저 소비 전력의 특성을 가지는 전자기력을 이용한 실린더형 진동 자이로의 기존의 기계적 모델링이 실제 자이로스코프의 특성과 부합하지 않음을 개선하기 위해 전자기적 해석을 포함하여 기존의 기계적 모델링보다 성능을 향상시켰다. 전자기적 해석은 실린더의 진동 운동에 인해 실린더 내부에 발생된 기전력 성분 측정과 자이로스코프의 전기적 해석이다. 기전력 성분은 자이로 센싱 저항이 실린더 유무에 따른 전압 값 변화로 확인하였다. 전자기적 해석을 포함한 제안된 모델링을 통해 이론적인 자이로스코프의 특성이 실제 자이로스코프 특성에 부합되고 기존 모델링 특성보다 우수함을 비교를 통해 입증하였다.

This paper presents a vibrotactile space mouse which use pin-type vibrotactile display modules and a gyroscope chip. This mouse is a new interface device which is not only an input device as an ordinary space mouse but also a tactile output device. It consists of a space mouse which use gyroscope chip and vibrotactile display modules which have been developed in our own laboratory. Lately, by development of vibrotactile display modules which have small size and consume low power, vibrotactile displays are available in small sized embedded systems such as wireless mouses or mobile devices. Also, development of new sensors like miniature size gyroscope by MEMS technology enables manufacturing of a small space mouse which can be used in the air not in a plane. The vibrotactile space mouse proposed in this paper recognizes motion of a hand using the gyroscope chip and transmits the data to PC through Bluetooth. PC application receives the data and moves pointer. Also, 2 by 3 arrays of pin-type vibrotactile actuators are mounted on the front side of the mouse where fingers of a user's hand contact, and those actuators could be used to represent various information such as gray-scale of an image or Braille patterns for visually impared persons.

Conventional microgyroscopes of vibrating type require resonant frequency tuning of the driving and sensing modes to achieve high sensitivity. These tuning conditions depend on each fabricated microgyroscopes, even though the microgyroscopes are identically designed. A new micromachined resonator, which is applicable to microgyroscopes with self-toning characteristics, is presented. Since the laterally driven two degrees of freedom (2DOF) resonator was designed as a symmetric structure with identical stiffness in two orthogonal axes, the resonator is applicable to vibrating microgyroscopes, which do not need mode tuning. A dynamic model of the resonator was derived considering gyroscopic application. The dynamic model was evaluated by experimental comparison with fabricated resonators. The microgyroscopes were fabricated using a simple 2-mask-process of a single polysilicon layer deposited on an insulator layer. The feasibility of the resonator as a vibrating microgyroscopes with self-tuning capability is discussed. The fabricated resonators of a particular design have process-induced non-uniformities that cause different resonant frequencies. For several resonators, the standard deviations of the driving and sensing frequencies were as high as 1232Hz and 1214Hz, whereas the experimental average detuning frequency was 91.75Hz. The minimum detuned frequency was 68Hz with $0.034mVsec/^{\circ}$ sensitivity. The sensitivity of the microgyroscopes was low due to process-induced non-uniformity; the angular rate bandwidth, however, was wide. This resonator could be successfully applicable to a vibrating microgyroscopes with high sensitivity, if improvements in uniformity of the fabrication process are achieved. Further developments in improved integrated circuits are expected to lower the noise level even more.

In this paper, we present a new approach to extract the g-sensitivity scale-factor error for a MEMS gyroscope. MEMS gyroscopes, based on the use of both angular momentum and the Coriolis effect, have a g-sensitivity error due to mass unbalance. Generally, the g-sensitivity error is not considered in general use of gyroscopes, but it deserves our attention if we are to develop for tactical class performance and reliability. The g-sensitivity error during vehicle flight increases navigation error; so it must be analyzed and compensated for the use of MEMS IMU for high dynamics vehicle systems. Therefore, we analyzed how to extract the g-sensitivity scale-factor error from the inertial sensor error model. Furthermore we propose a new method to extract the g-sensitivity error using flight motion simulator. We verified our proposed method with experimental results.

본 논문에서는 DSP를 이용하여 운동하는 물체의 회전량을 측정하는 실린더형 진동 자이로스코프(이하 자이로) 제어기를 개발하였다. 진동 자이로를 구동하기 위해서는 정밀 진동제어와 신호 처리와 같은 고급 제어 기술이 필요하다. 정밀진동제어는 진동 자이로를 구동하기 위해 필요한 핵심기술로써 기존의 PLL(phase-locked loop)방식은 외부환경에 민감하여 구현이 까다로울 뿐만 아니라 자이로 개개의 고유 진동수가 다르기 때문에 대량 생산에 어려움이 있었다. 또한 자이로 출력 신호로부터 회전량을 검출하기 위해서는 진폭과 당향성 검출의 본 회로뿐만 아니라 잡음 제거와 신호 증폭, 온도 보상과 같은 전처리 과정도 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 DSP를 통해 정밀 진동제어와 잡음 제거, 방향성 검출 등의 기능들을 구현하였으며 증폭과 진폭(회전량) 검출은 아날로그 회로를 이용하였다. 또 한 외부와의 인터페이스를 위해 D/A 회로를 설계하였고 이들을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 진동형 마이크로 자이로스코프를 위한 폐루프 제어기를 설계하였으며 실험을 통하여 설계된 제어기의 성능을 검증하였다. 일반적으로 진동형 자이로스코프를 동작시키기 위해서는 구동축과 검출축의 공진 모드가 일치되도륵 설계를 하며 높은 감도를 얻기 위해서는 이 두 모드의 Q값이 클수록 유리하다. 하지만 이러한 개루프 상에서 동작 하에서는 대역폭과 선형성 등의 성능에 제약을 가져오게 되며 이를 개선하기 위해 폐루프 제어기가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 진공도에 따른 Q값의 변화와 이에 따른 제어기의 성능을 분석하였으며 실험 결과로부터 설계된 제어기가 만족할만한 성능의 개선을 가져옴을 확인하였다.

The vibratory gyroscope can effectively measure the angular velocity as the oscillating and position-sensing mode are exactly tuned. The veering Phenomenon impedes the exact tuning, which is caused by the mode coupling of two modes. In this paper, the gyroscope's structure with two frames is introduced to minimize the veering phenomenon that destabilizes the tuning process of oscillating and position-sensing mode. Experimental results show that the Proposed structure can achieve the mode intersection without veering phenomenon.

Vibration analysis for a coupled MEMS gyroscope design is presented in this paper. MEMS gyroscopes have shown that slight mistuning in fabricated process often leads to significant difference of vibration characteristics between expected and real designs. The difference frequently affects the MEMS gyroscope design in a negative way. As long as the coupling between excited and sensed motions exists, such difference occurs inevitably. In this paper, dimensionless parameters that govern the vibration characteristics of coupled MEMS gyroscope are identified and the effects of the parameters on the vibration characteristics are investigated for the design of the MEMS gyroscope.
