    摘要: A method for determining angular orientation of an object in two or more directions. The method includes: generating a scanning polarized RF source signal; receiving the scanning polarized RF source signal at one or more cavities of a sensor disposed on the object; measuring the scanning polarized RF source signal at a first portion of the sensor; reflecting the scanning polarized RF source signal toward a second portion of the sensor; measuring the scanning polarized RF source signal at the second portion of the sensor; and determining the angular orientation of the object in the two or more directions based on the measured signal at the first and second portions of the sensor.

    摘要: The invention relates to an inertial navigation system for a carrier comprising a core comprising gyroscopic sensors making it possible to determine the angular velocity thereof according to three axes defining a reference trihedron, two of the axes defining a reference plane and the third axis being at right angles to this plane. The device comprises command and control means making it possible to rotate the core about the third axis and to determine the direction of the geographic north on the basis of the information supplied by the gyroscopic sensors and by an accelerometer placed in the reference plane; the rotation of the core being performed with a period for which the value of the Allan variance of the stability error of the gyroscopic sensors is lower than a given value guaranteeing the accuracy with which the direction of the geographic north can be known.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for the autocalibration of an inertial rig comprising an inertial core defining a sensor reference frame, implemented in the course of at least two missions (Mn, Mn+1) each comprising the determination, on the basis of measurements of gyroscopes, of the orientation of the rig in a reference frame comprising the north axis (N) and the vertical axis (Up), the method comprising the implementation:—in the course of a mission (Mn), of an estimation (200) of drift errors of the gyroscopes for the orientation of the rig at least with respect to the north axis (dgyrN); and—in the course of a following mission (Mn+1), of a calculation (400) of corrections of drift errors (DXn) of the sensor reference frame (X,Y,Z), on the basis of the estimated drift errors; and—of a calculation (600) of drift errors (Xn+1), consisting in correcting drift errors (Xn) of the sensor reference frame that were calculated during the previous mission (Mn).
