Abstract

Systems and methods are described herein for extracting inertial information from nonlinear periodic signals. A system for determining an inertial parameter can include circuitry configured for receiving first and second analog signals from first and second sensors, each sensor responsive to motion of a proof mass. The system can include circuitry configured for determining a difference between the first and second analog signals, determining a plurality of timestamps corresponding to times at which the difference crosses a threshold, and determining a plurality of time intervals based on the timestamp. The system can include circuitry configured for determining a result of applying a trigonometric function to a quantity, the quantity based on the plurality of time intervals and determining the inertial parameter based on the result.
