Powerful Sensing Solutions for a Better Life
AHRS440
MEMS-BASED AHRS SYSTEM
The MEMSIC AHRS440 is a compact standalone
attitude and heading reference system that
provides roll, pitch and yaw measurement data in
both static and dynamic environments.
The AHRS440 can accept external GPS aiding
inputs for optimized performance, and is available
in standard and high range sensor configurations.
Features
• Roll, Pitch, Heading and 9DOF
Inertial Outputs
• Accuracy < 0.2 deg
Platform Stabilization
UAV Flight Control
• Output Data Rate > 100 Hz
The AHRS440 combines highly reliable MEMS sensors (gyros and
accelerometers) with low noise magnetometers to provide accurate
attitude and heading in a small and rugged environmentally-sealed
enclosure. The AHRS440 provides consistent performance in challenging operating environments and is user-configurable for a wide
variety of applications.
