The more distance between the sensors and the center of rotation, the
more sensitive the sensors are to angular errors.
This is nothing more than geometry. For example, if individual
sensors are 6mm apart, and the length between the sensor banks and
the center of rotation is 200mm, then the sensitivity of angular
errors is
, which is
degrees. Assuming the same basic design but a shorter
distance of 100mm
between the sensor banks and the center of rotation, the
sensitivity becomes
which evaluates to
degrees.
