RTK signal is easily blocked? IMU makes RTK have unlimited possibilities

When you use an RTK surveying instrument to measure in some places with obstructions or requiring a large tilt, do you always encounter weak signals, no signals, or inaccurate measurements?

Now many RTKs are equipped with IMUs to make measurements more efficient and accurate. IMUs can maintain short-term relative positioning accuracy when RTK signals are blocked or temporarily ineffective. A separate external IMU can meet measurement needs more flexibly.

For example, an IMU ER-MIMU-12 can perfectly solve the above problems while improving measurement and stakeout efficiency!

**Excellent performance, automatic tilt compensation**

Equipped with a three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer, the built-in gyroscope dynamic measurement range is ±400°/s, bias instability ≤1°/h, angle random walk <0.25°/√h; accelerometer dynamic The measurement range is ±30g and the bias stability is <50ug.

The IMU can be used to perform real-time interference-free and automatic tilt compensation on the RTK surveying instrument, and can perform measurements at large tilt angles. The IMU data is used to sense the device’s attitude changes (roll angle, pitch angle, and yaw angle) and perform tilt compensation.

It can ignore magnetic fields and can achieve accurate measurements even in difficult locations.

**Compact size, easy integration**

The 120mm x Φ30mm cylindrical IMU weighs ≤150g and is very portable.

In some measurement scenarios that require rapid deployment, the cylindrical IMU can be conveniently fixed on a tripod or measuring rod and can be put into use quickly without complicated debugging, saving time and costs.

**Quick initialization and accurate dynamic measurement**

RTK initialization time is long, IMU can significantly shorten the RTK initialization time. You can initialize the internal IMU by walking a few meters and easily start the measurement mode!

Even if the measuring rod is moved, tilted or leveled during measurement, there is no need for tedious calibration procedures and the measurement can be continued immediately while ensuring measurement accuracy.

IMU can make RTK measurement results more accurate, improve measurement efficiency, and expand the application scope of RTK surveying instruments, especially in environments with limited GNSS signals.

       GNSS satellite refresh rate is low and the signal is easily blocked or interrupted, resulting in GNSS signal loss. The integrated navigation system of GNSS+INS can make up for these problems, and the high-precision INS can keep working in a short time when GNSS loses lock.

GNSS+INS combined navigation is widely used in large unmanned aerial vehicles, mobile mapping, geographic information collection, urban intelligent transportation and other applications due to its sustainable navigation, high precision and high autonomy.

Our integrated navigation ER-GNSS/MINS-01 has ultra-high precision at the surveying and mapping level. It can provide continuous and high-precision position, velocity and attitude (roll, pitch and yaw) information.

**Mapping-level high-precision navigation**

The integrated navigation information provided has a roll and pitch accuracy of up to 0.01° and post-processing of 0.004°. The heading can reach 0.05°, 0.01° after post-processing, and the speed accuracy can reach 0.03m/s.

Supports RTK positioning, can automatically identify RTCM, and enter RTK state.

In the case of RTK interruption for 30 seconds, the roll and pitch accuracy can be maintained at 0.01°, and the heading accuracy can be maintained at 0.01°. The position is maintained at 0.2m and the height is maintained at 0.08m.

**High-precision core components**

Built-in high-performance navigation-grade MEMS gyroscope and accelerometer, the gyroscope measurement range is ±200°/s, and the bias instability is <0.02°/h. The accelerometer measurement range is ±60g, and the bias instability (Allen curve) is <2ug.

**Full-band full-system**

The built-in dual-antenna positioning and orientation GNSS module supports all major global satellite navigation systems (GPS/BDS/GLONASS/Galileo/QZSS), and can perform high-precision and rapid positioning and orientation. At the same time, it is compatible with all frequency points, and can obtain the best positioning effect at any location in the world.

The built-in satellite receiver has strong anti-interference ability, can still provide accurate positioning in complex electromagnetic environments, and also supports a variety of communication interfaces.

**Small size and light weight**

The size is only 65×70×45.5mm, the weight is less than 300g, and the aluminum alloy shell is used to ensure reliability. And the operating temperature range can reach -40°C to 80°C, which is suitable for most working environments.

Integrated multiple sensors, IMU helps drones fly stably

 

Sensors are the core components of drone flight control systems, responsible for collecting data about the drone and its surroundings, such as the drone’s position, speed, attitude, and other information.

Common sensors include gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometers (compasses), barometers (altimeters), and GPS modules. Most IMUs only integrate gyroscopes and accelerometers.

We currently have an IMU ER-MIMU-16 that integrates sensors such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometers, and barometers, making it ideal for drones.

**Integration of multiple high-performance sensors**

Gyroscope: dynamic measurement range ±450º/s, bias instability 0.3º/h, angular velocity random walk 0.15º/√h;

Accelerometer: dynamic measurement range ±30g, bias instability 10ug, bias repeatability 100ug;

The angular velocity and acceleration data provided by the gyroscope and accelerometer can be used to obtain information such as the attitude, speed, and displacement of the drone through system calculation.

Magnetometer: dynamic measurement range ±2.5Gauss, measures the data of the magnetic field to be borne, and provides the magnetic north direction.

Barometer: pressure range 450~1100mbar, by measuring the atmospheric pressure, the data provided can assist the flight control system in navigating the drone to the required height.

The data provided by the IMU can help the flight control system monitor the attitude changes of the drone in real time and achieve stability control.

**Lightweight design, easy to install**

This IMU has a volume of 47×44×14mm, a thickness of only 14mm, and a weight of 50g. It can be easily installed in various types of drones.

**SPI communication interface**

This type of communication method has a high data transmission rate and can perform high-speed data communication. It can also send and receive data at the same time, doubling the efficiency;
