Description
Summary:As roll angle measurement is essential for two-dimensional course correction fuze (2-D CCF) technology, a real-time estimation of roll angle of spinning projectile by single-axis magnetometer is studied. Based on the measurement model, a second-order frequency-locked loop (FLL)-assisted third-order phase-locked loop (PLL) is designed to obtain rolling information from magnetic signals, which is less dependent on the amplitude and able to reduce effect from geomagnetic blind area. Method of parameters optimization of tracking loop is discussed in the circumstance of different speed and it is verified by six degrees of freedom (six degrees of freedom (DoF)) trajectory. Also, the measurement error is analyzed to improve the accuracy of designed system. At last, experiments on rotary table are carried out to validate the proposed method indicating the designed system is able to track both phase and speed accurately and stably. The standard deviation (SD) of phase error is no more than 3°.
