information in forests and under trees. Signals less than 10 percent of the origi-
nal strength can be detected using SiRFstar technology.
TricklePower™ mode reduces the GPS receiver’s power consumption from
more than 1 watt to less than 150 milliwatts (mW) for continuous position up-
date applications.
Push-to-Fix™ mode reduces average power consumption to less than 15 mW
for on-demand position applications - power consumption even cell phones can
live with.

To enhance the quality of the position-
ing data, a Dead Reckoning technique is
added. A solid state Gyro (Piezo tech-
nique) provide direction information.
An odometer or preferred a solid state
accelerometer to provide distance in-
formation. The accelerometer also pro-
vides tilt information to be used in
compensating the Gyro output.
Panasonic EWTS4 Compact Angular Rate Sensor
This angular rate sensor utilises Coriolis force generated by a vibrating tuning fork.
This sensor consists of sensing and driving elements, tuning fork driving circuit
and the signal processing circuit. The tuning fork is composed of two metal pieces,
a connecting block and four piezo-electric elements. A compact and reliable angu-
lar rate sensor has been realised.
