OPERATIONAL MODE FOR AXISYMMETRIC CORIOLIS VIBRATING GYROSCOPES

A new axisymmetric Coriolis vibrating gyroscope includes a resonator configured to vibrate in a standing wave; a plurality of control elements; and a control circuitry, configured to iteratively control said control elements so as to maintain an angular direction of said vibration at a current setpoint; determine an angular direction of said vibration of said resonator from respective readings of at least two of said control elements; calculate a total angular rate; and update said setpoint to an angular direction of said vibration determined in a previous iteration
