The Inertial Labs INS-D-OEM with Spoofing Protection
Satellite constellations use RF signals to transmit information to GNSS receivers. These signals contain information on the satellite ephemeris, clock bias parameters, almanac, satellite health status and other information. Receivers use these signals to compute position (and timing) information... -
Magnetometers Calibrations and the Inertial Labs INS-P
Magnetometers measure the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a particular location. Though phonetically complex, magnetometers can be common devices used in everyday life such as compasses and metal detectors. In general, there are two basic types of survey...
