摘要

This article presents a novel method to measure unbalanced moments in a two-axis gimbaled seeker commonly believed to seviously influence the tracking acuracy and stabilizing capability. This method enables individual measurement of unbalanced moments, and judgment of the seeker's status-balanced or not. Furthermore, all instrument is designed based on this method and calibrated. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through a simulation. The experimental results show a satisfied level of accuracy the measurements have. This work forms a basis for the further development of a more stabilized gimbaled seeker with less induced vibration and consumed power.
