MEMS Gyros & Multi-Axis Sensors

EMCORE’s line of MEMS Gyroscopes and Multi-Axis Rate Sensors, based on our Systron Donner Quartz
MEMS technology, deliver high reliability and low total cost of ownership, with no wear-out modes or
calibration intervals required. Customers can select performance levels to match their requirements rang-
ing from 0.5 to 20 degrees per hour bias stability with exceptionally low noise, small size, high band-
width and reliability.
