Mathieu equation with application to analysis of dynamic characteristics of resonant inertial sensors

In this paper, Mathieu equation is applied to analyze the dynamic characteristics of resonant inertial sensors. Unlike previous work, Mathieu equation is not just a differential equation and analyzes the stability of the transition curves, but become an important method in analyzing parametric resonant characteristics and approximate output of resonant inertial sensors. It is demonstrated that the mathematical model of resonant inertial sensors is described by Mathieu equation. The relevant Mathieu equation theory and dynamic characteristics analysis methods were proposed, which include both stability and dynamic linear output. Finally, theoretical and experimental analysis show that the correlation of the theoretical curve and the experimental result coincide so perfectly, which means proposed analysis methods for Mathieu equation could be used to analyze the dynamic output characteristic of resonant inertial sensors. The theoretical analyzing approach of Mathieu equation and experimental results of resonant inertial sensors are obtained, which provide an application area for Mathieu equation and a reference for the robust design for resonant inertial sensors.
