Abstract

The problem of optimum control of a moment compensating vertical gyro frame is considered. The transfer function matrix of the stabilizer has been derived. The optimum compensator of the stabilizer had been obtained such that the dispersion of the error signal is minimized for a certain value of the 'settling time. The proposed technique had been compared by the conventional methods. The analytical methods as well as the simulation results proved the superiority of the proposed method over the conventional approaches.
