Method for simulating the operating behavior of a coriolis gyro

Operating method for a Coriolis gyro, in the case of which

• the interaction of the system comprising force transmitters, a mechanical resonator and excitation/readout vibration pick-offs is represented as a discretized, coupled system of differential equations,
• the variables of the system of equations representing the force signals supplied by the force transmitters to the mechanical resonator and the readout signals produced by the excitation/readout vibration pick-offs, and the coefficients of the system of equations containing information relating to the linear transformation which maps the force signals onto the readout signals,
• the coefficients are determined by measuring force signal values and readout signal values at different instants and substituting them in the system of equations, and the system of equations is numerically resolved in accordance with the coefficients, and
• an instantaneous rate of rotation is inferred on the basis of the determined coefficients, describing the linear transformation, of instantaneous force signals of the force transmitters and instantaneous readout signals of the excitation/readout vibration pick-offs.
