Study on the Error of Four-Position North Seeking System Based on the Single Axis Fiber Optic Gyroscope

Abstract

The method to analysis the influence of error sources on the fiber optic gyroscope north seeker is presented in this paper. The influence of various error sources of the north seeker are investigated comprehensively. The simulation results indicate that the precision of gyroscope is the most important influence factor; the influence of the position rotation error and mounting error are greater than that of the inclination angle measurement error. Based on the analysis, the advisable scheme to improve the accuracy of the four-position north seeker is proposed. The experimental results met the accuracy requirement well, which proved that the compensation and error analysis method in this paper are effective and feasible.
