System for
processing signals from a
gyroscope (102), comprising: at least one drive channel (104) designed to receive an output from a drive axis (110) of the
gyroscope (102), wherein the at least one drive channel (104) includes the following: a drive channel analog-to-
digital converter (ADC) (112) which receives a drive
signal from the drive channel (104) and outputs a digitized drive
signal; a drive channel phase-correct demodulator (114) that receives the digitized drive
signal and generates a phase-correct demodulated drive signal; at least one drive
channel filter (118) that receives the phase-correct demodulated drive signal and outputs a filtered phase-correct demodulated drive signal; and a phase-locked loop (PLL); a detection channel (106) designed to receive an output from a detection axis (108) of the
gyroscope (102), wherein the detection channel (106) includes the following: a capture channel ADW (124) that receives an analog rate signal from the capture channel (106) and outputs a digitized rate signal; and a
digital signal processor (125) which includes the following: a detection channel phase-correct demodulator (126) that receives the digitized rate signal and generates a phase-correct demodulated rate signal; a capture channel quadrature-phase demodulator (128) that receives the digitized rate signal and generates a quadrature-phase demodulated rate signal; a first acquisition
channel filter (130) that receives the phase-correct demodulated rate signal and outputs a filtered phase-correct demodulated rate signal; and a second acquisition
channel filter (132) that receives the quadrature-phase demodulated rate signal and outputs a filtered quadrature-phase demodulated rate signal; and a digital subtraction circuit (134) that subtracts the filtered phase-correct demodulated drive signal from the filtered phase-correct demodulated rate signal to generate a sensing axis output signal.
