Calibration of an Accelerometer

Kimura Hitoshi

Conventional calibration method of an accelerometer does not take account of the direction gap between the package and the internal sensors. The gap causes sensitivity error and crosstalk of other axis acceleration. These errors prevent to calculate accurate input acceleration. This study proposes a new calibration method which provides actual sensor directions and individual sensitivities.
