IEEE Standard Specification Format Guide and Test Procedure for Linear Single-Axis, Nongyroscopic Accelerometers

IEEE Std 1293-1998 (R2008), American National Standarts Institute
Abstract: The specification and test requirements for a linear, single-axis, nongyroscopic accelerometer for use in internal navigation, guidance and leveling systems are defined. A standard specification guide and a compilation of recommended test procedures for such accelerometers are provided. Informative annexes are given on various types of such accelerometers (force or pendulous torque rebalance with analog or digital output, vibrating beam and micromechanical) and error effects, on filtering, noisem and transient analysis techniques and on calibration and modeling techniques (multipoint tumble analysis, vibration and shock test analyses, and geophysical effects in inertial instrument testing).
Keywords: accelerometer, inertial instrument, inertial sensor, pendulous accelerometer, vibrating beam accelerometer, micromechanical accelerometer, power spectral density, vibration and shock, geophysical effects, specification, testing.
