In this paper, a detailed analysis of the influence of phase noise on the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) disk resonator gyroscope (DRG) is presented. Firstly, a new time-varying phase noise model for the gyroscope is established, which explains how the drive loop circuit noise converts into phase noise. Different from previous works, the time-varying phase noise model in this paper is established in mechanical domain, which gain more physical insight into the origin of the phase noise in gyroscope. Furthermore, the impact of phase noise on DRG is derived, which shows how the phase noise affects angular velocity measurement. The analysis shows that, in MEMS DRG, the phase noise, together with other non-ideal factors such as direct excitation of secondary resonator, may cause a low frequency noise in the output of the gyroscope system and affect the bias stability of the gyroscope. Finally, numerical simulations and experiment tests are designed to prove the theories above.

Through the use of a spectral analysis of the source of noise – person’s movement over the ceiling construction – it was found out that in this kind of noise distinctive low-frequency tone components occur (31,5 - 40 Hz) which is beyond the evaluation area of the impact sound insulation of the ceiling construction, s. [2], [3].

Analysis of cosmic microwave background (CMB) datasets typically requires some filtering of the raw time-ordered data. For instance, in the context of ground-based observations, filtering is frequently used to minimize the impact of low frequency noise, atmospheric contributions and/or scan synchronous signals on the resulting maps. In this work we have explicitly constructed a general filtering operator, which can unambiguously remove any set of unwanted modes in the data, and then amend the map-making procedure in order to incorporate and correct for it. We show that such an approach is mathematically equivalent to the solution of a problem in which the sky signal and unwanted modes are estimated simultaneously and the latter are marginalized over. We investigated the conditions under which this amended map-making procedure can render an unbiased estimate of the sky signal in realistic circumstances. We then discuss the potential implications of these observations on the choice of map-making and power spectrum estimation approaches in the context of B-mode polarization studies. Specifically, we have studied the effects of time-domain filtering on the noise correlation structure in the map domain, as well as impact it may haveon the performance of the popular pseudo-spectrum estimators. We conclude that although maps produced by the proposed estimators arguably provide the most faithful representation of the sky possible given the data, they may not straightforwardly lead to the best constraints on the power spectra of the underlying sky signal and special care may need to be taken to ensure this is the case. By contrast, simplified map-makers which do not explicitly correct for time-domain filtering, but leave it to subsequent steps in the data analysis, may perform equally well and be easier and faster to implement. We focused on polarization-sensitive measurements targeting the B-mode component of the CMB signal and apply the proposed methods to realistic simulations based on characteristics of an actual CMB polarization experiment, POLARBEAR. Our analysis and conclusions are however more generally applicable.

Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) placed on the seafloor surface are utilized for measuring the ocean bottom seismic waves. The vibration of OBS excited by underwater noise on its surface may interfere with its measured results of seismic waves. In this particular study, an OBS was placed on the seabed, while ray acoustic theory was used to deduce the sound field distribution around the OBS. Then using this information, the analytical expression for the OBS vibration velocity was obtained in order to find various factors affecting its amplitude. The finite element computing software COMSOL Multiphysics® (COMSOL) was used to obtain the vibration response model of the OBS which was exposed to underwater noise. The vibration velocity for the OBS calculated by COMSOL agreed with the theoretical result. Moreover, the vibration velocity of OBS with different densities, shapes, and characters were investigated as well. An OBS with hemispherical shape, consistent average density as that of the seafloor, and a physical structure of double tank has displayed minimum amplitude of vibration velocity. The proposed COMSOL model predicted the impact of underwater noise while detecting the ocean bottom seismic waves with the OBS. In addition, it provides significant help for the design and optimization of an appropriate OBS.
