Error Modeling of Fiber Optic Gyroscope Universal Time Measurement

Since the fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) is rigidly strapped down to the earth’s crust, there are various errors that affect the universal time (UT1) measurements. In this paper, the errors caused by various physical factors and mechanisms are analyzed in detail, with precession and nutation errors bei...

description Since the fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) is rigidly strapped down to the earth’s crust, there are various errors that affect the universal time (UT1) measurements. In this paper, the errors caused by various physical factors and mechanisms are analyzed in detail, with precession and nutation errors being taken into account, and modeling of the observation equations based on precession and nutation error correction is proposed. The mapping relationship with UT1 is established based on this observation equation; after the corresponding error correction and VLBI calibration, the high-accuracy solution of UT1 is finally completed. Through 14-day measurement experiments under a room temperature environment without any vibration isolation and magnetic shielding devices, the error variation of UT1 solution compared with the earth orientation parameter (EOP) 14 C04 data is calculated at less than 3.57 ms, with UT1 solution accuracy improved by 56% compared with the traditional method. These results indicate that this work facilitates the study of giant FOG error modeling and correction, advancing our understanding of errors in giant FOG measurements and improving the accuracy of UT1 solution.
