Traditionally, gyroscopes were mechanical devicesthat measured the angular rate of rotation. Onecommon use of gyroscopes has been in navigationsystems to provide heading estimation.Installing these ...

Solid-state gyroscopes aren’t just for video games and smartphones. Industrial-grade devices can handle tasks that demand superaccurate sensing. • Gyroscopes found in consumer devices lack the ...

This article discusses the various control mechanisms for MEMS Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscopes (CVG), and how they can be applied with the commercial off-the-shelf HF2LI Lock-in Amplifier. A MEMS ...

The gyroscope market is heating up, fueled by increasingly autonomous vehicles, robots, and industrial equipment, all of which are demanding greater precision and ever-smaller devices. Gyroscopes ...

There are two kinds of gyroscopes in widespread use for navigation and control: optical ones, which are extremely sensitive but also expensive, and microelectromechanical (MEMS) ones, which are ...

In this exclusive series, Chipworks, one of the world's leading IC reverse-engineering houses, provides detailed functional and circuit analysis of significant new integrated circuits. Coupling actual ...

The rotating-mass gyroscope, which lies at the heart of inertial measurement units (IMUs), has served very successfully from the 1930s to the 1970s, guiding astronauts, spacecraft, missiles, and more.
