You want to get rid of the sine wave and just use the DC component. The
sine wave is noise from the synchronous rectifier inside the gyro, not
your useful signal. Your useful signal is 2mV/deg/sec afair and it drifts
up to ten times as much with temperature and the time of day and the
course of the yen. Murata and Tokin have app notes for their gyros. How
about taking a look ? Probably then one for the make you are using ?
