VN-200 Surface Mount GPS/INS
The VN-200 is a miniature, high-performance GNSS-Aided Inertial Navigation System (GNSS/INS) that combines 3-axis gyros, accelerometers and magnetometers, a high-sensitivity GNSS receiver, and advanced Kalman filtering algorithms to provide optimal estimates of position, velocity, and attitude.
Description
The VN-200 SMD (Surface-Mount Device) is a miniature high-performance GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation System that combines MEMS inertial sensors, a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, and advanced Kalman filtering algorithms to provide optimal estimates of position, velocity, and orientation for industrial applications.
OVERVIEW
Introduced in 2012, the VN-200 was the world’s first GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS) in a single surface mount package. At the size of a postage stamp, the VN-200 SMD requires only a single 3.2-5.5V power supply and can be directly embedded into a user’s electronics.
The VN-200 Rugged is the “plug and play” version of the VN-200 SMD. Enclosed in a clamshell precision anodized aluminium enclosure, the VN-200 Rugged offers additional protection of the internal inertial sensors, GNSS receiver and electronics. Interfacing with the module is made through a locking 10-pin connector, as well as an MMCX connector for an external active GNSS antenna.
