A general approach to improve the bias stability of NMR gyroscope

Abstract

In recent years, progress in improving the bias stability of NMR gyroscopes has been hindered. Taking inspiration from the core idea of rotation modulation in the strapdown inertial navigation system, we propose a general approach to enhancing the bias stability of NMR gyroscopes that does not require consideration of the actual physical sources. The method operates on the fact that the sign of the bias does not follow that of the sensing direction of the NMR gyroscope, which is much easier to modulate than with other types of gyroscopes. We conducted simulations to validate the method's feasibility.
