Precision Fiber Optic Gyroscope Sensor 1.5 deg/h Bias Antenna Tracking Pointing Systems
The MFOG-24 is a precision fiber optic gyroscope engineered for antenna tracking and pointing applications where precise angular rate feedback is critical. Its low-noise analog output enables sub-degree pointing accuracy for satellite communication and radar systems.
Built on the Sagnac effect with optimized signal processing, the MFOG-24 provides clean, drift-free angular rate data essential for closed-loop antenna servo control. The solid-state design eliminates mechanical gyro maintenance in remote antenna installations.
- Low-noise analog output for precision antenna servo control loops
- Angular rate range: +/-500 deg/s, zero-bias stability <=1.5 deg/h (1 sigma)
- Scale factor nonlinearity: 300 ppm for accurate tracking over full range
- Operating temperature: -40 to +65 deg C for outdoor antenna installations
- No moving parts ensures maintenance-free operation at remote sites
- Compact phi24x39mm, 30g for easy integration into antenna pedestals
