Quadrature Error and Offset Error Suppression Methods for Micro-Gyroscopes

Abstract:

Because of the imperfections of the manufacture, the quadrature and offset error become the major concerns in Micro-gyroscopes for high performance. So in order to eliminate and minimize quadrature and offset error, various methods employing improvement of manufacture and suppression circuitry have been put forward to improve the performance. And this paper summarize most of the suppression methods those who have better performance.
