High-Precision Quadrature Signal Generator for Digital Demodulation of MEMS Gyroscope

Abstract:

A new quadrature signal generator based on Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) algorithm for digital demodulation of MEMS gyroscope was proposed in this paper. To avoid quantization error, the dual-accumulator with signal-ROM structure was adopted. This signal generator was realized in FPGA chip, which could be quit compact to realize all digital demodulation in one chip. Simulations and tests of the generator were carried out. The test results demonstrate that the signal generator achieves high stability. The standard deviation of the frequency is 0.075Hz and the standard deviation of the amplitude is 0.037mV.
