This paper presents a new adaptive operation strategy that can identify and, in an adaptive fashion, compensate for most fabrication defects and perturbations affecting the behavior of a MEMS z-axis gyroscope. The convergence and resolution analysis presented in the paper shows that the proposed adaptive controlled scheme offers several advantages over conventional modes of operation. These advantages include a larger operational bandwidth, absence of zero-rate output, self-calibration and a large robustness to parameter variations, which are caused by fabrication defects and ambient conditions.
