Description
Overview
The versatile EMCORE CG-5100 inertial measurement unit (IMU) combines proprietary technologies – highly accurate FOG-based sensors coupled with industry proven MEMS accelerometers – all within a compact single enclosure, providing reliability and long-term compliance to customer specifications. Through its seamless integration of these two highly reliable navigation components, the CG-5100 provides a ground-breaking low-cost, small form factor solution for inertial measurement.
The EMCORE sensor engine of FOGs and accelerometers creates a flexible and efficient IMU, a high performance motion sensing package ideally suited for critical sensing applications and GPS integrated navigation programs. This strapdown inertial subsystem offers outstanding reliability and accurate 6-degreesof-freedom measurement. The CG-5100 achieves its excellent performance by employing proprietary algorithms to a fully digital gyro sensor output, enabling the system to characterize and correct for the effects of temperature and misalignment. The CG-5100 also affords the end user with a convenient and easy to adapt output in a fully digital RS-232/RS-422 format.
