| Summary: | Processing errors can result in an asymmetric stiffness distribution within a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) disk resonator gyroscope (DRG) and thereby cause a mode mismatch and reduce the mechanical sensitivity and closed-loop scale factor stability. This paper proposes an automatic mode-matching method that utilizes mode reversal to obtain the true resonant frequency of the operating state of a gyroscope for high-precision matching. This method constructs a gyroscope control system that contains a drive closed loop, sense force-to-rebalance (FTR) closed loop, and quadrature error correction closed loop. After the gyroscope was powered on and started up, the x- and y-axes were quickly switched to obtain the resonant frequencies of the two axes through a phase-locked loop (PLL), and the x-axis tuning voltage was automatically adjusted to match the two-axis frequency. The experimental results show that the method takes only 5 s to execute, the frequency matching accuracy reaches 0.01 Hz, the matching state can be maintained in the temperature range of −20 to 60 °C, and the fluctuation of the frequency split does not exceed 0.005 Hz. |
