Jun 19, 2009 Offering range of 30-6,000 dps, gyroscopes can provide unamplified output value for general detection of angular motion and 4x amplification for high-resolution measurements, simultaneously. Noise affecting output signal is limited to 0.014 dps/sqrt Hz at 30 dps full-scale. Stability is optimized over wide temperature range and time, with variation under 0.05 dps/°C for zero-rate level, eliminating need for temperature compensation. Units operate with supply voltages from 2.7-3.6 V.

Jul 31, 2008 Vertical Gyro (MMQ(TM)-VG) and Attitude, Heading, and Reference System (MMQ(TM)-AHRS) incorporate Six-Degree-of-Freedom MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit, which provides Roll, Pitch, and Heading (AHRS only) angle solution in varying dynamic conditions. Roll and Pitch are stabilized by IMU accelerometers, and heading is stabilized by external 3-axis magnetometer. While Vertical Gyro meets TSO-C4c Bank and Pitch angle requirements, AHRS meets TSO-C4c and TSO-C6D Heading performance.
