Digital inertial velocity sensor for use in navigation platforms, is based on the Sagnac effect, and has a circuit for determining the difference in the time of flights of signals travelling in opposite directions around a circuit

摘要

The digital inertial velocity sensor is based on use of micro- and nanoelectronics for making measurements of signals propagating in opposite directions in circuits and then using the Sagnac effect to determine the speed with which the circuit and sensor are moving.
