Abstract

The paper describes micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers and their calibration making reliable and accurate measurements. The first part discusses the physics of acceleration and accelerometers. The next part describe one of the calibration techniques. The final section shows static calibration of a 3D digital linear acceleration sensor in LSM303D.
