Abstract

The use of a high speed moving average filter is shown to filter high speed errors, including white noise in angle and quantization errors, from the output data of a ring laser gyro while it is being tested. The filtered data permits investigation of the lower speed, random walk in angle error of the gyro being tested. For best results, several moving average filters are connected in series.
