← TechnologyWhich undesirable consequence occurs when excessive ambient vibration overwhelms a MEMS gyroscope within an inertial navigation system?
A)Erroneous attitude estimation✓
B)Unintended motor activation
C)Premature sensor overheating
D)Compromised wireless connectivity
💡 Explanation
Erroneous attitude estimation occurs because an overdriven MEMS gyroscope experiences rate saturations, leading to flawed angular rate data, and therefore to integration drift in the system, rather than causing other component malfunctions under normal operating conditions.
