3.4.1 Accelerometer <strong>Identification</strong>Modeling <strong>of</strong> typical accelerometers was done with the representative CrossbowCXL04LP3. This is the accelerometer present on the Honeywell OAV. Theaccelerometers were modeled with white noise and random bias. Figure 3.41 shows howthis was done. According to the manufacturer, the modules could report up 0.2 g <strong>of</strong> maxbias. This would be erratic and slowly switching between positive and negative. Arandom number is filtered to ensure subtle changes between positive and negative.Hysteresis was also identified to be no more than 0.1 g. The noise coming into the systemwas identified as 10 mg RMS.Figure 3.41 – Accelerometer ModelFigure 3.42 shows the noise and nonlinear effects the model has while the sensor isstationary over a period <strong>of</strong> 10 minutes.- 95 -
