Fuzzy Modeling and Compensation of Scale Factor for MEMS Gyroscope

For MEMS gyroscope, The error of scale factor is severe and therefore vital to analyze and compensate the error to improve the performance of gyroscope. Based on the operational principle of Dual Gimbaled MEMS gyroscope, it is analyzed that the physical origin of offset, nonlinear and asymmetry errors of scale factor. The error model of scale factor is proposed. The fuzzy logic, a method to compensate scale factor, is presented. The experimental results show that the dynamic raw error of gyroscope is 4053.2°/h (1σ), and error compensated by the fuzzy logic is improved to 79.0°/h (1σ). Compared with the conventional methods of 1th order curve fitting and segmented methods, the precision of gyroscope compensated by fuzzy logic is improved 15.4 and 7.5 times respectively. It verifies the accuracy of the fuzzy model and compensation, and improves of gyroscope in dynamic maneuvering.
