    摘要: A detection device detects a dynamic quantity exerted on a detection mechanical system including first and second mechanical oscillators. The detection device includes first to third transducers, a canceller, a low-pass filter, and an inverting amplification unit. The first transducer detects the first mechanical oscillator position in a first direction to output a first signal. The second transducer detects the second mechanical oscillator position in a second direction to output a second signal. The canceller inverts a direction in which a signal detected by the second transducer from the second mechanical oscillator varies according to the first signal. The third transducer detects the second mechanical oscillator position in the second direction to output a third signal. The inverting amplification unit gives a control signal generated by inverting the third signal to a second actuator moving the second mechanical oscillator.

    摘要: This disclosure is related to devices, systems, and techniques for determining, using an electro-opto-mechanical accelerometer system, a frequency value in order to determine an acceleration value. For example, an accelerometer system includes a light-emitting device configured to emit an optical signal and a circuit. The circuit is configured to determine a frequency value corresponding to the optical signal and determine an acceleration value based on the frequency value. Additionally, the accelerometer system includes a housing that encloses the light-emitting device, the circuit, and Helium gas, where the Helium gas defines a partial pressure within a range between 0.1 torr and 760 torr.

    摘要: A method includes receiving a signal from a sensor. The signal includes a first in-phase component and a first quadrature component. The first in-phase and quadrature components are identified. A rate signal is applied to the sensor and the sensor generates a sensed rate signal. A second in-phase and quadrature components associated with the sensed rate signal are determined. A phase error based on the first and the second in-phase components, and the first and the second quadrature components is determined. The method may further include reducing error in measurements associated with the sensor by dynamically compensating for the determined phase error, e.g., by modifying a clock signal, by changing a demodulation phase of a demodulator used to identify the in-phase and the quadrature components.
