The 1725 IMU is a game-changing 6-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) sensor that delivers the high performance and stability of KVH’s fiber optic gyros (FOGs) at MEMS prices. With three high-performance KVH gyros and three low-noise MEMS accelerometers, this commercial-off-the-shelf, low cost/high performance IMU is ideal for applications in which affordability, high performance and high bandwidth are critical. Features:
- Compact package weighing less than 0.7 kg (1.45 lbs.) designed for ease of integration
- Flexible interfaces, programmable message outputs
- Versatile for unmanned platforms, precision stabilization systems, and high accuracy mobile mapping
Highlights
- High bandwidth and low noise for demanding applications
- Superior shock and vibration performance
- High accuracy 6-DOF angular rate and acceleration data
- Drop-in replacement design
- Asynchronous or synchronous RS-422 protocol
- Adjustable baud rate to minimize communication latency, and receive accurate data even faster
Exclusive Technology
E•Core ThinFiber Technology
KVH’s proprietary polarization maintaining E•Core ThinFiber delivers outstanding precision performance in much smaller gyros and inertial systems. By minimizing the diameter of KVH’s standard E•Core fiber, the resulting ThinFiber boosts the accuracy of all KVH gyros, and allows the production of very small FOGs with very high bandwidth and very low noise.
DSP Technology
KVH’s DSP electronics improve FOG performance in critical areas such as scale factor and bias vs. temperature, scale factor linearity, and maximum input rate. KVH’s exclusive DSP design overcomes the limitations of analog signal processing, eliminating temperature-sensitive drift and rotation errors.
