Solid-state gyroscopes aren’t just for video games and smartphones. Industrial-grade devices can handle tasks that demand superaccurate sensing. • Gyroscopes found in consumer devices lack the ...

In MEMS technology development, it is always exciting to see the next technology frontier, the border of the known and the unknown. Talent and hard work (along with ingenuity) can move this frontier ...

The rotating-mass gyroscope, which lies at the heart of inertial measurement units (IMUs), has served very successfully from the 1930s to the 1970s, guiding astronauts, spacecraft, missiles, and more.

This article discusses the various control mechanisms for MEMS Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscopes (CVG), and how they can be applied with the commercial off-the-shelf HF2LI Lock-in Amplifier. A MEMS ...

There are two kinds of gyroscopes in widespread use for navigation and control: optical ones, which are extremely sensitive but also expensive, and microelectromechanical (MEMS) ones, which are ...

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) represent a key technology in the measurement space. Whether you are looking to design, produce, and test your own MEMS and associated circuitry or develop a ...

TDK Corporation has released Tronics GYPRO4300, a high stability and vibration-tolerant digital MEMS gyroscope for dynamic applications. The GYPRO4300 features a ±300°/s input measurement range, 200 ...

Micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMS) based inertial sensors are used measure acceleration and rotation rate. These sensors are integrated into units to measure motion, direction, acceleration or ...

This is the first article of a series addressing key issues in creating systems employing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices as sensors and/or actuators in the system’s front end. This ...

iNGage’s ultra-integrated, tactical-grade, multi-axis inertial sensor components will be deployed in Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), and Inertial ...
