This paper discusses the methods for reducing the sampling time quantization errors of the body dither type ring laser gyroscope. A ring laser gyroscope has the angle quantization error which is generated by the frequency counting method of the laser beat signal and sampling time quantization error which is generated by the demodulation method for eliminating the body dithering in which the sampling periods are fitted to the dither periods. Generally, because the dither periods are longer than the calculation periods of the inertial navigation system, vehicle navigation errors are produced by long time attitude update missing during the vehicle move with a high dynamical motion. In this paper, the double demodulation method is proposed for reducing the sampling time quantization error and its effects under the dynamic situation are confirmed by simulation.

In this paper, we propose the new method to decrease the navigation error by measurement time synchronization error in RLG Trapping signal processing. There are two methods to eliminate the dither motion in RLG. One is the stripping signal processing method. Another is the trapping signal processing method. This two methods have various error sources in measurement output. We perform the error modelling and analysis for the measurement time synchronization error between angular rate from RLG and acceleration from accelerometer in the trapping signal processing method. And we verify the navigation performance through simulation and experiment. Results of simulation and experiment show that the proposed method is very effective in decreasing the navigation error.

The ring laser gyro(RLG) has been used extensively in strapdown inertial navigation system(SDINS) because of the apparent of having wide dynamic range, digital output and high accuracy. The dithered RLG system has dynamic motion at sensor level, caused by the dithering motion to overcome the lock-in threshold. In this case, an attitude error is produced by not only the true coning of the vehicle motion but also the pseudo coning of the sensor motion. This paper describes the definition of the multi-frequency coning motion and its noncommutativity error to reject the pseudo coning error produced by the sensor motion such as the dithered RLG. The simulation results are presented to minimize the multi-frequency coning error.

Ring Laser Gyroscopes used as navigational sensors inherently experience a lock-in region, where very low rotational rates are not measurable. Most RLG manufacturers use a mechanical dither motor that applies a small oscillatory rotational motion larger than this region to resolve this problem. Any input acceleration that bends this dithering axis causes flexure error, which is a noncommutative error that can not be compensated by simply using integrated gyro sensor output. This paper introduces noncommutative error equations that define attitude errors caused by flexure errors. In this paper, flexure error is classified as sensor level error if the sensing axis coincides with the dithering axis and as system level error if the two axes do not coincide. The relationship between gyro output and the rotation vector is introduced and is used to define the coordinate transformation matrix and angular motion. Equations are derived for both sensor level and system level flexure error analysis. These equations show that RLG based INS attitude error caused by flexure is directly proportional to time, amount of input acceleration and the dynamic frequency of the vehicle.

The problem is improving the positioning precision of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM). Thus, this paper presents the design and realization of an adaptive dither to reduce the force ripple in PMLSM. A composite control structure is used, consisting of three components: a simple feed-forward component, a PID feedback component and an adaptive feed-forward compensator (AFC). Especially adaptive feed-forward component cancel out detent force using wavelet transformation. Computer simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme for high precision motion trajectory tracking using the PMLSM
