HG3900 MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit
Overview
The next generation HG3900 IMU uses all-silicon MEMS (microelectromechanical system) technology to create a low size, weight and power (SWaP) package that performs as well or better than similar-sized IMUs using fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) or ring laser gyroscope (RLG) technology.
Specifications
Key Differentiators
