Ellipse-A
Small-sized AHRS
Ellipse-A is a cost-effective high-performance Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS).

Description
Ellipse-A is a small-sized high performance Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). It provides Roll, Pitch, Heading, and Heave data. This light-weight sensor (45 grams) includes a MEMS-based Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) integrating three gyroscopes, three magnetometers, and three accelerometers.
