Abstract

This paper presents an approach for modeling and realization of an inertial navigation system. This system consists of two new 2-D acceleration sensor arrays, three gyroscopes, digital error correction, gravitation compensation, supporting point inclusion, and software application. Modeling is achieved using SystemC-AMS for analog parts and SystemC for digital and software components. The model is simulated and verified by stimulating with different accelerations and rotations representing sensor movements
