ABSTRACT:
A mobile navigation system gyro module comprises: first and second gyro sensors outputting angular velocities ω1, ω2around first and second axes intersecting at an acute angle θ12; a sign determination circuit determining a sign of ω1; a correction circuit correcting the first and second gyro sensor outputs; and a computation circuit computing ω′=√(ω1′2+SA2) and SA=(ω2′−ω1′ cos θ12)/sin θ12using angular velocities ω1′, ω2′from the correction circuit, and outputting angular velocity ω by multiplying ω′ by the sign of ω1, wherein the correction circuit includes: first and second offset adjustment circuits outputting ω1″ and ω2″ by respectively subtracting from ω1and ω2, corrections B1and B2corresponding to the first and second gyro sensor outputs when the mobile unit stops; and the angular velocity ω is around an axis coplanar with and between the first and second axes.
