Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers and gyroscopes are small scale sensors that measure changes in linear acceleration and rotational velocity, respectively. They are fabricated using electronic circuit techniques such as etching and deposition. MEMS motion sensors can be used in an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that can be integrated with the Global Positioning System (GPS) to make a navigation system that is more accurate than each system alone. However, since MEMS-based...
Show moreMicroelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers and gyroscopes are small scale sensors that measure changes in linear acceleration and rotational velocity, respectively. They are fabricated using electronic circuit techniques such as etching and deposition. MEMS motion sensors can be used in an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that can be integrated with the Global Positioning System (GPS) to make a navigation system that is more accurate than each system alone. However, since MEMS-based IMUs are inherently noisy, we must overcome inaccuracies caused by the integration of random noise to find position. Accuracy can be increased by applying digital filters to the data before integration. Comparing the success of finite impulse response (FIR) filters and infinite impulse response (IIR) filters, we found that even though our highest order FIR filter yielded the most accurate position, it was limited by an offset bias in the accelerometer signal and a time delay in the determined position.
