Abstract

In the gyrocompass system, the use of the fiber optic gyroscope(FOG) makes this traditional system considerably attractive because it has strong points in terms of weight, power, warming-up time, and cost. In this paper, a novel digital north-finding method based upon an FOG, which can be applied to the gyrocompass system, is proposed. The analytical model for the earth signal of the FOG is described, and the earth signals passed through lock-in amplifiers are modeled. Additionally, a north-finding algorithm using two lock-in amplifier outputs is developed, and the proposed method is organized by the developed algorithm. Simulation results are included to verify the performance of the proposed method.

FOG(fiber optic gyroscope :광섬유 자이로스코프)는 소형 경량화, 신속한 가동, 저 전력 소모 및 저렴한 가격으로 실현 가능하므로 자이로콤파스시스템에서의 선호도가 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FOG를 기반으로 하며, 자이로콤파스시스템에 적용할 수 있는 디지털 진북추종 방식을 제안한다. FOG의 earth signal의 해석모델을 분석하고, lock-in증폭기를 통과한 earth signal을 모델링 한다. 두 개의 lock-in증폭기 출력신호를 이용한 진북추종 알고리즘을 개발하고, 이 알고리즘에 의한 디지털 진북추종 방식을 제안한다. 제안한 방식의 성능을 증명하기 위해 컴퓨터시뮬레이션 결과를 포함한다.
