Abstract
A new device for measuring angular rate is analyzed and its mechanical and electrical design features presented. Analytical proofs of three important characteristics of the instrument are given. These characteristics are: 1) a sinusoidally modulated-carrier voltage with the envelope representing the magnitude of the useful output signal; 2) zero drift as well as zero offset effects separated from the true output in the form of a dc quantity, and 3) a reference signal through which both the magnitude and the orientation of the input angular-velocity component in the plane of the spin are determined.
