Abstract

The force-to-rebalanced control mode is the main operating mechanism of the HRG, and the standing wave azimuth of the resonator points to the 0° direction. But the bias of the HRG is very sensitive to the change of external physical field environment and it is urgent to improve the bias stability. The relationship between the bias of the HRG and the standing wave azimuth is periodic. When the standing wave azimuth and the damping axis are aligned, the bias error of the HRG will be greatly reduced, and the bias stability of the HRG affected by the temperature can also be improved by changing the azimuth of standing wave. In this paper, the control algorithm and the hardware circuit of the HRG are designed to control the HRG at any standing wave azimuths. The control of the HRG in different standing wave azimuths is realized, and the system temperature experiment is carried out. The experimental results show that the bias of the HRG are significantly different at different standing wave azimuths, and the bias stability of the HRG affected by the temperature can be improved 3 times by changing the standing wave azimuth.
