EG-1300 FIBER OPTIC GYROSCOPE (FOG)
The EG-1300 Fiber Optic Gyro features fully-integrated optics and electronics and is a superior device in regards to weight and form-factor for navigational applications. Its advanced integrated optics and closed-loop Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) electronics deliver much higher accuracy, lower noise and greater efficiency than competing technologies. In addition, the EG-1300 can be calibrated internally for better thermal effect and has both digital and analog outputs, along with separation of the electronics from the FOG’s sensing coil assembly to accommodate the widest variety of installation parameters.
