Analog Tip Data Coherence and Timing for Navigation Systems in AGVs

In navigation systems for autonomous vehicles (AGVs), MEMS inertial sensors are often used. This tip describes how they can be adapted to the data rates of the vehicle's computing platforms.

GNC systems (guidance, navigation & control) extend the PNT (position, navigation, timing) services provided by satellite navigation systems. They are also suitable for use in autonomous vehicles. During the development of GNC systems for vehicles, MEMS inertial measurement units (IMU) are often used, but they must be adapted to the data rates of the computer platforms to achieve their optimal performance.
