Application of Fast Dynamic Allan Variance for the Characterization of FOGs-Based Measurement While Drilling

The stability of a fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) in measurement while drilling (MWD) could vary with time because of changing temperature, high vibration, and sudden power failure. The dynamic Allan variance (DAVAR) is a sliding version of the Allan variance. It is a practical tool that could represen...
