The Rate Integrating Gyroscope (RIG), Part 1
The gyroscope is an instrument where the input is a rate of turn (angular rate). Any gyroscope is a torque-in, torque-out device. Therefore, the output of the gyro is a change in the gimbal angle (the gimbal turns) in response to the rate of turn input, due to gyroscopic precession. The input

Basic Output Generator Excitation and Demodulation Requirements for USD Gyroscopes
known as a pickoff, generates a user output signal indicating the position of the gyro's gimbal, usually in terms of millivolts per (angular) degree of gimbal rotation. All US Dynamics miniature gyroscope pickoff arrangements are implemented in the form a variable transformer. There are several
