In this paper, the performance of two Kalman filter (KF) schemes based on the direct estimated model and differencing estimated model for input rate signal was thoroughly analyzed and compared for combining measurements of a sensor array to improve the accuracy of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscopes. The principles for noise reduction were presented and KF algorithms were designed to obtain the optimal rate signal estimates. The input rate signal in the direct estimated KF model was modeled with a random walk process and treated as the estimated system state. In the differencing estimated KF model, a differencing operation was established between outputs of the gyroscope array, and then the optimal estimation of input rate signal was achieved by compensating for the estimations of bias drifts for the component gyroscopes. Finally, dynamic simulations and experiments with a six-gyroscope array were implemented to compare the dynamic performance of the two KF models. The 1σ error of the gyroscopes was reduced from 1.4558°/s to 0.1203°/s by the direct estimated KF model in a constant rate test and to 0.5974°/s by the differencing estimated KF model. The estimated rate signal filtered by both models could reflect the amplitude variation of the input signal in the swing rate test and displayed a reduction factor of about three for the 1σ noise. Results illustrate that the performance of the direct estimated KF model is much higher than that of the differencing estimated KF model, with a constant input signal or lower dynamic variation. A similarity in the two KFs' performance is observed if the input signal has a high dynamic variation.
