Book
This book is about aerospace sensors and their essential roles in guidance andnavigation systems. Performance characteristics developed from basic physicallaws are consolidated in typical productdata lists thus bridging betweentheory and practice sensor dynamics and random processes are discussed as thebasis of statistical error modeling. Examples problems and qualitativediscussions are used throughout the text to enhance intuitive understanding.The first two chapters introduce generic sensor models random signalprocessing and filtering and estimation they thus provide a common basis forstudents from diverse backgrounds. The seven chapters that follow cover threegenerations of sensor technology spanning fifty years ranging from classicalelectromechanical sensors for rotation and force to modern fiberoptic gyrosand silicon micromechanical devices. Sensors are presented as constituents ofsystems in which measurements are blended by Kalman filtering to achievesuperior precision and reliability and lower cost. Effects of noise andinterference for example on automatic tracking homing and inertialnavigation are analyzed and discussed in detail. «
