Micromachined thermal gas inertial sensors are novel devices that take advantages of simple configuration, large working range, high shock resistance, and good reliability in virtue of using gaseous medium instead of mechanical proof mass as key moving and sensing elements. Basing on multidimensional movements of gas flow in a small chamber, the sensor generally undergoes a cross-axis problem. In this paper, a study on the cross-axis sensitivity of the thermal gas rotation sensor is reported. The cross-axis problem of the sensor is resulted from the multidimensional coupling movement of the convection flow in the sensor chamber and possibly be diminished by a tailored structural design. Unlike using a complex scheme on the mechanical structure, combining more than two sensors to form an integrated compensation system and using a fusion methodology to decouple cross rotations are proposed in this paper. The method helps to enhance practical applications for thermal rotation sensors.
