1. Introduction

The crucial task of the modern stage of the development of technology is the problem of the exact binding of various measuring and navigation systems to the true north heading. The importance of high-precision determination of true azimuth is emphasized by a number of practical applications in registration, navigation, targeting problem solving and object direction determination, high-precision orientation of communication systems, geodesy, and so on.

The traditional way to determine azimuth is to measure the direction with the help of a magnetic compass, considering (or not) the terrain magnetic declination. Although this method has been known for a long time, noncorrespondence of the magnetic and geographic poles, as well as the presence of magnetic anomalies or magnetized objects nearby, makes the compass usage inaccurate for the solution of the specified tasks of geographical north finding [1].

The solution of the problem of positioning and determining the motion direction in a number of cases can be achieved with the help of modern satellite systems, such as GPS/GLONASS [2]. However, these methods, being based on external signals, are by definition heteronomous, which can be critical for some applications, such as for navigational tasks of underwater vehicles or for positioning in closed or underground facilities. Besides, to achieve high accuracy in direction determination, it is necessary to conduct measurements at several points, which are remote from each other, as well as to use high-precision signal receivers, providing high accuracy in the determination of the coordinates of each point.

Modern methods of high-precision orientation determination include a wide usage of various gyrocompass devices [3]. However, the use of high-precision gyrocompasses with the accuracy of determining the azimuth direction better than 0.5° is substantially limited by their cost, consumption, and mass-size parameters.

An alternative to the established trend of various gyroscopic systems development to solve the task of direction determination is an autonomous method of object azimuth finding based on finding of Earth angular velocity vector by measuring the Coriolis forces with a linear accelerometer rotating around an axis parallel to the sensitivity axis of that accelerometer [4]. At the same time, the accuracy of this method is not large due to the smallness of the Coriolis forces in comparison to the typical external noise vibrational background.

From the point of view of technical implementation and high accuracy attainability in finding the geographic north heading, a better option is a well-known method based on the direct finding of Earth angular velocity vector by means of an angular accelerometer rotating about the axis orthogonal to the sensitivity axis of that accelerometer. The principle of the method is the modulation of the Earth rotation rate signal by forced mechanical rotation of the angular accelerometer. In case the rotation axis is not parallel to , the projection of the Earth angular velocity vector on the axis of sensitivity of the angular accelerometer, and hence on its output signal, alternates with the accelerometer rotation, which makes it possible to determine the position of the sensitivity axis lying in the same plane as the Earth angular velocity vector and consequently the geographical north heading [5, 6]. The described method could be quite effective granted that there is a sufficiently sensitive angular motion sensor. At the same time, none of the angular motion sensors, including microelectromechanical and fiber-optic, available until quite recently, give the high accuracy necessary in their usage. Nevertheless, the solution of the task of high-precision finding of the azimuth direction with the help of this method is achievable with the use of a more sensitive and accurate angular sensor. Molecular-electronic technology-based angular sensor [7–10] can be used in this case. The described solution is implemented in the patent [11]. Besides, the patent [5] on the inertial determinant of the geographical north heading is very similar to it. The solution is a nongyroscopic inertial system that allows to determine the geographic north azimuth. The system operates with the use of a liquid angular motion sensor mounted on a rotating platform. The sensor is placed on a platform capable of rotating at a certain constant angular velocity so that its sensitivity axis to the angular motion is orthogonal to the platform rate of rotation vector.

2. Description of the Assembly and Measurement Scheme

In this paper, an autonomous system of finding the azimuth by a dynamic method based on a molecular-electronic angular velocity sensor will be studied in detail. The basic scheme of the assembly operation is shown in detail in [12]. Zaitsev et al. [13] provide the experimental results of the scheme study from [12]. In the present work, the study of the proposed system based on molecular-electronic sensors is continued. According to what has been said, the description of the experimental assembly is schematically shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Schematic design of the device to measure the geographical north heading.

The rotating platform 1 is equipped with a molecular-electronic angular motion sensor 2 (SA: sensitive axis) and an inclinometer 3 detecting the deviation of the site from the horizontal position. The platform is driven by motors 4. At the site, next to the rotating platform, a magnetic encoder 5 is installed. The encoder registers the position of the platform in time with respect to the start position. Signals from the sensors are registered in the data acquisition unit 6, processed in block 7, and visualized on the computer real time, which allows to control sensor signals clearly, including nonuniformity of the platform rotation. Figure 2 shows a user window where the platform rotation is controlled and the signals from the sensors are monitored real time. The device is powered by the power supply 8. At that, 4 signals are visualized, as shown in Figure 2. White shows the signal of the molecular-electronic sensor, by which the azimuth is determined, red shows the signal of the angle sensor, which records the change in inclination of the platform during rotation, green shows the platform angle sensor (magnetic encoder), and blue shows the derivative of the encoder signal, which demonstrates that the platform with sensors rotates evenly. Figure 3 shows the general view of the experimental assembly.

3. Problem Statement

The accuracy of the azimuth determination by the developed device and the measurement method generally depends on a number of factors, in particular, on the orthogonality degree of the platform rotation axis of and the angular motion sensor sensitivity axis and rotation axis beatings, which change the slope of the angular motion sensor sensitivity axis in relation to the acceleration of gravity, which will also be seen in the appearance of a periodic signal at the sensor output in case of corresponding sensitivity to linear accelerations [14]. The measurement accuracy in accordance with [12] is influenced directly by the primary sensor self-noise. Besides, temperature drift [15, 16] and special aspects of the output to the mode of the molecular-electronic sensor must be taken into account [17, 18].

In this paper, we will consider two factors that determine the special aspects of the dynamic method of azimuth finding with the help of the latest molecular-electronic angular motion sensors.

The signal of the molecular-electronic angular motion sensor after being brought to the rotation in accordance with the dynamic method algorithm and calculation of the Fourier transform at the platform rotation frequency is as follows:

where is the projection of the Earth angular velocity on the rotation plane of the molecular-electronic sensor sensitivity axis, is the phase of the output useful signal, is the average speed of the platform rotation, is the parasitic sensor signal, caused by the rotation axis beating, which contribute into the system signal due to the sensitivity to linear acceleration and the corresponding changes in the gravity vector projection on the sensitivity axis of the device, is the encoder signal measuring the platform rotational speed over time, is the deviation angle of the molecular-electronic sensor sensitivity axis from the perpendicular to the platform angular velocity vector (the angle of nonorthogonality), and is the self-noise of an angular sensor, considered in detail in [19, 20].

The first term represents a useful signal. The second term represents errors due to the influence of the linear acceleration (gravity). The third term is the parasitic signal conditioned by nonuniformity of the platform rotation. The fourth term describes errors associated with the molecular-electronic sensor self-noise. The fourth term was studied in detail in [12]. It was shown that the self-noise of a molecular-electronic sensor was affecting the azimuth error, and numerical and experimental simulations of such effect were carried out. But this kind of error cannot be reduced by the system compensation methods, it can only be reduced by increasing the measurement time, and this error is completely determined by the physical mechanisms of MET sensor’s self-noise. In [12], it was demonstrated that, in case of absence of other types of system errors, the azimuth error generated by the sensor’s self-noise could be close to 0.1° at the measurement time of 200 sec.

The present study and the second and third terms from (1) will be considered in detail; the nature of the effects will be studied, and the mechanisms for compensating these errors will be proposed.

4. Theoretical Description of Error Compensation Methods Associated with Linear Acceleration

One of the reasons for the error in north finding by the proposed above dynamic scheme is the effect of linear accelerations, the second term of (1), on the device sensitive element. Huang et al. [10] offer the solution of the task to eliminate the error in determining the north heading, which is done by exact orientation of the platform rotation axis along the local vertical. In this case, rotation does not change the sensor orientation to gravity. Nevertheless, this solution cannot always be implemented technically with the necessary accuracy.

Now we determine how the errors related to the change in the sensor position to gravity can be corrected if the platform rotation axis is not vertical in a small range of angles. To do this, consider a sensor rotating relative to one of the axes located in the plane of the toroidal channel of its body (Figure 4). Introduce a coordinate system which z-axis is directed along the platform rotation axis, while x-axis is oriented perpendicular to the toroidal plane, that is, along the sensitivity axis of the angular motion sensor. The y-axis complements the coordinate system to the right three. Introduce the following notation: is the inclination angle of the rotation axis relative to the vertical and is the angle between the plane OXZ and the plane containing the z-axis and the gravity vector . Then the projections of the gravity vector on the axis of the chosen coordinate system will be as follows:

Figure 4: Schematic view of the molecular-electronic sensor of angular motions.

Let, in addition, be the angle between OZ and the direction of the local meridian, and is the counterclockwise angle between the planes OXZ and the plane containing the angular velocity vector of the Earth and the OZ axis. Then the projection of the angular velocity of the Earth’s rotation on the sensitivity axis of the sensor will be:

If the liquid in the toroidal channel of the angular motion sensor was strictly homogeneous, then the moment of inertia forces creating the liquid circulation in the channel would be . In reality, the liquid density is not strictly constant but particularly depends on a change in its concentration or the temperature gradients. Without making any a priori assumptions about the nature of the density distribution, the moment of forces driving the liquid in the toroidal channel within linear response can be written as follows:

The coefficients and consider the inhomogeneity of the distribution of the fluid density in the toroid channel and related linear acceleration sensor sensitivity. In this calculation, the coefficients should be considered as a priori unknown and to be determined based on the experimental data.

Suppose the platform comes into rotation counterclockwise with angular velocity . Then,

Here and are the values of the corresponding angles at the initial moment of time . Substitute (2), (3), and (5) into (4) and, by preserving only the terms that depend on time, getting

Denote the complex coefficient of the transformation of the moment of forces into the output signal of the sensor by . Using (6), find the following for the output signal when rotating counterclockwise:

Here, ; .

Similarly, for the rotation in the opposite direction, it is as follows:

Calculate the ratio (7) to (8) and find

Here, , and and are the amplitude and phase of polar coordinate system for relationship, respectively, the amplitude and phase relationship Since and are experimentally determined output signals of the angular motion sensor. Accordingly, and should be regarded as quantities determined from the experiment. Solving (9), relative to , find

Take into account that is a real value, and get

Thus, if the direction of the rotation axis inclination (the angle in our description) was known, the error associated with the deviation of the platform rotation axis from the vertical could be eliminated and the direction of the Earth angular velocity relative to the initial position of the platform could be determined by finding from (11).

In turn, to find the angle , two methods could be proposed:

(1)The method of platform rotation at two different angular velocities: suppose that two series of experiments are consistently carried out. These experiments consist of successive clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the platform, with the described above two different rotational speeds and. Then, in the second test, as follows from the definition of the parameter , its value for the second series of experiments will be times less. Denote the amplitude and relationship phase of the of the sensor signals when rotating counterclockwise and clockwise by and in the second of the experiments, with rotation at angular velocity. Then, in addition to (9), get

 The last expression with allowance for (14) allows us to find the required angle .(2)Simultaneously with the angular motion sensor, a gravity-sensitive sensor (sensitive to the inclination angle), for example, an accelerometer, is placed on the platform: let, for simplicity, the accelerometer sensitivity axis is directed along the OY axis, that is, it lies in the toroid plane. Then the accelerometer output signals at rotation counterclockwise or clockwise measured in the experiment are given by the following expressions:

 For the output signals ratio:

 From here,

which makes it possible to determine the unknown angle.

based on the experimentally determined value , the joint solution of (11) and (17) allows to find, in particular, , that is, the geographical north heading, eliminating the errors associated with the influence of the gravity field on the output signal of the angular motion sensor. It should be noted that the choice between the signs “+” and “−” according to (11) does not affect the result.

5. Compensation of Errors Associated with the Projection of the Unevenness of the Platform Rotation

Consider (1) once again, namely, the third term of the formula describing the appearance of an additional parasitic signal, caused not by the orthogonality of the sensitivity axis of the angular motion sensor and the platform rotation axis.

The axes nonorthogonality lead to the fact that, apart from the actual angular velocity of the Earth rotation, the signal received from the angular motion sensor has a projection to the sensor sensitivity axis, in general, the nonconstant rotation speed of the platform. Considering the fact that the unevenness of the platform rotation, as a rule, has a periodicity corresponding to the rotation period, that parasitic signal, caused by the unevenness of rotation, is at the same frequency as the measured Earth rotation speed modulated by the platform rotation. Such parasitic signal cannot be eliminated by frequency filtering and by an increase in the averaging signal time. As a result, the accuracy of north finding is significantly reduced.

Consider such situation in more detail. Figure 5 shows the angular motion sensor, marked as 1, attached to the movable platform 2. A coordinate system is introduced, the vector is directed along the sensitivity axis of the angular motion sensor, the z-axis is directed along the platform rotation axis, and the x-axis is perpendicular to the platform rotation axis so that the plane OXZ contains the vector . The y-axis complements the coordinate system to the right three. The following notations are introduced: is the angle between vector and the x-axis.

Figure 5: Molecular-electronic sensor of angular motion on a rotating platform. 1: mobile platform; 2: molecular-electronic sensor.

As observed in practice, the fact that the rotation of the platform can be uneven should be considered. Consider how much the nonorthogonality of the position of the sensor sensitivity axis to the platform rotation axis affects the errors in the device readings. If the sensitivity axis is located at some angle to the platform rotation axis different from 90 degrees, then the molecular-electronic sensor, in addition to the Earth rotation, feels the unevenness of the platform rotation, which significantly affects the accuracy of north finding.

To study the effect of the described mechanism on the error in North finding, the data from a magnetic encoder is used. The encoder can measure the platform rotation speed in real time. Let us recall that the magnetic encoder is installed next to the rotating platform (product 5 in Figure 1). With the help of such sensor, the unevenness of the rotation is measured and the received signal is used to adjust the system and process the data further on.

In order to reduce the influence of the parasitic signal on the readings of the molecular-electronic sensor, it is necessary to bring the angular motion sensor into a position where the SA (axis of sensitivity of a sensor) is perpendicular to the platform rotation axis or to subtract the additive from the measured signal due to the discussed effect.

At the controller command, the platform rotation is defined. It is characterized by a strong unevenness (e.g., the platform evenly increases its rotational speed with some constant angular acceleration). In that case, the third term in (1) must be predominant. After calculating the Fourier transform, by the ratio of the signal of the molecular-electronic sensor and the platform speed variation signal from the encoder at a frequency corresponding to some preselected operation frequency of the platform rotation (approximately average value between the maximum and minimum rotation speed), the position of the sensor sensitivity axis to the angular velocity vector of the platform rotation is adjusted by successive tilting of the angular motion sensor in the OXZ plane, minimizing the ratio of the signals .

Figure 6 shows the amplitudes of the signal spectra of the molecular-electronic sensor reduced to the dimension rad/s at different positions of the sensitivity axis relative to the platform rotation axis. The red curve shows the sensitivity axis deflected from the position of orthogonality by a small angle. The blue curve shows the sensitivity axis deflected by a larger angle. Figure 7 shows the amplitudes of the signal spectra of the magnetic encoder measuring the platform rotational speeds in the corresponding experiments. Rotation is assumed to be uniform in the first approximation.

Figure 6: Amplitudes of the signal spectra of a molecular-electronic sensor reduced to the dimension rad/s. The blue and red curves show different angles of the sensitivity axis of the molecular-electronic sensor to the platform rotation.

Figure 7: Amplitudes of the signal spectra of the platform rotation speed sensor (encoder).

From the analysis of Figures 6 and 7, it is seen that at the correction of the position of the sensitivity axis of the angular motion sensor, the amplitude of the molecular-electronic sensor signal at the platform rotation frequency decreases. Based on the derivative of the encoder signal, the introduced earlier and denoted in Figure 5 angle is found from the formula . Hence, the ratio of the angular motion sensor signal to the derivative of the encoder signal allows to correct the position of the sensor sensitivity axis to the vector of the angular velocity of the platform rotation.

In addition, the determination of the angle of inclination allows to take into account the parasitic signal during further data processing. To do this, the platform is brought into deliberately uneven rotation straight before the measurements (Figure 8, the velocity profile according to the readings of the encoder), and the coefficient is measured as the ratio of the signal spectra of the molecular-electronic angular motion sensor (Figure 9, blue curve) to the signal spectrum of the encoder signal derivative (Figure 9, red curve). Thus, a kind of calibration of the signal of the molecular-electronic sensor is performed according to the known signal of the obviously uneven rotation recorded by the angular encoder near the platform rotational speed , provided that a strong uneven rotation signal of the platform rotation is predominant in the signal of the molecular-electronic sensor. Figure 10 shows the calibration of the molecular-electronic sensor by a signal of uneven rotation.

Figure 9: Signal spectra of a molecular-electronic sensor and a signal of the encoder’s rotational speed with obviously uneven rotation. (The abscissa axis shows frequency in Hz and the ordinate axis shows relative units).

Figure 10: Calibration of the molecular-electronic sensor with an uneven rotation signal near the rotation frequency, the sensitivity of the sensor MEP in this position to the unevenness of rotation in V/(rad/sec). (The abscissa axis shows the frequency in Hz and the ordinate axis shows V/(rad/sec)).

Based on the assumption that there is a parasitic signal associated with the unevenness of the platform rotation in the signal of the molecular-electronic sensor, the following formula can be used

where is the average rotational speed of the platform with uneven rotation, is the encoder signal at the platform rotation frequency, is the calibration coefficient of the sensitivity to the uneven extra-axial rotation, and is the signal of the molecular-electronic sensor at the platform rotation frequency.

Equation (19) describes the correction of the signal of a molecular-electronic sensor with allowance for the unevenness of rotation. Further, by dividing by the transfer function of the molecular-electronic sensor, obtain the MET signal with the account of the uneven motion of the platform.

Schematically, the operation of the algorithm can be represented in the following block diagram in Figure 11.

Figure 11: The algorithm for error compensation associated with uneven platform rotation.

The following symbols are introduced in the diagram: is the mechanical calibration of the sensor, is the calibration curve interpolation with the missing number of points, is the record of the conditionally “uneven” signal of the MET sensor, is the record of the conditionally “even” encoder signal, is the record of the obviously uneven signal of the MET sensor, is the record of obviously uneven signal of the encoder, and is the operation of calculation of fast Fourier transformation for time record.

The result of the practical application of this algorithm in an experiment is shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12: Spectrum of the MEP signal before (blue) and after (red) the application of the algorithm with even rotation at a frequency of 0.137 Hz (blue is before correction and red is after correction).

The contribution of the component conditioned by the unevenness of the platform rotation and the corresponding extra-axial sensitivity of the molecular-electronic sensor was about 10–12% of the total signal amplitude.

Thus, the general algorithm for control of the analyzed measurement errors in the device for determining the North heading using the dynamic method of the azimuth determination consists in setting the sensitivity axis of the molecular-electronic sensor perpendicular to the platform angular velocity vector, basing on the readings of a sensor measuring the platform rotational speed in time. The errors that remain after this procedure are taken into account by subtracting the corresponding parasitic signal from the signal of the molecular-electronic angular motion sensor. Then, the measurements are carried out with the account of the algorithm of the sensor sensitivity to linear acceleration, the North heading is calculated by (11) and (17), and the difference of which is that the term is subtracted from the signal of the molecular-electronic sensor at the platform rotation frequency.

6. Conclusion

Two significant mechanisms of system errors for a dynamic scheme of azimuth determination with the base of MET angular motion sensor have been studied. A theoretical model of MET g-sensitivity error factor has been developed, and an appropriate compensate algorithm was calculated. There have been experimentally studied system errors due to tiny nonoptionality of sensor sensitive axis and the main system axis with the presence of system axis angular motion speed fluctuations (parasite angular acceleration). An appropriate compensation algorithm was developed and approved.
