Equation 3.5-11<br />

In pendulous accelerometers the constant bias is caused by pick-off offset<br />

and residual spring torque in the pivots about the hinge line. Noise is<br />

caused by rapidly fluctuating instabilities in the assembly and under-damped<br />

rectified inputs. Scale factor errors are restricted to the forcer electronics<br />

and variations in magnetic field strength due to thermal sensitivity. These<br />

are made as small as possible by designing a “stiff” system in which the<br />

pendulum rotation is minimised. Noise is often specified in (µg/√Hz)<br />

referenced to the sensor output rate. From §3.2.2.2,<br />

Equation 3.5-13<br />

As in the gyroscope model, modularity is improved by using the inertial<br />

angular rate and accelerations referenced to the Missile Body axes instead of<br />

sensor specific axes. The mask for the configuration selected is,<br />
