In this study, a model based on the outputs of accelerometers on the disc of RGAA is established to calculate the gravity gradient corresponding to the distance, through the study of the RAGG output influenced by a surrounding mass in the frequency domain. Taking particle, sphere, and cuboid as examples, the input-output models of gravity gradiometer are established based on the center gradient and four accelerometers, respectively. Simulation results show that, if the scale factors of the four accelerometers on the disk are the same, the output signal of the RAGG only contains (4k+2)\u03c9 (\u03c9 is the spin frequency of disc for RAGG) harmonic components, and its amplitude is related to the orientation of the surrounding mass. Based on the results of numerical simulation of the three models, if the surrounding mass is close to the RAGG, the input-output models of gravity gradiometer are more accurate based on the four accelerometers. Finally, some advantages and disadvantages of cuboid and sphere are compared and some suggestions related to calibration and self-gradient compensation are given.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21051925","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,9]],"date-time":"2021-03-09T21:36:21Z","timestamp":1615325781000},"page":"1925","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Frequency Domain Analysis of Partial-Tensor Rotating Accelerometer Gravity Gradiometer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Xuewu","family":"Qian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Instrument Science and Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China"},{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Linyi University, Linyi 276000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liye","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Instrument Science and Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weiming","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Instrument Science and Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianqiang","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Linyi University, Linyi 276000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Metzger, E.H.
