BLENDED SENSOR SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A blended sensor system and method including a velocity sensor (52) operably connected to monitor velocity of a payload (58) and generate a velocity signal (62); a position sensor (54) operably connected to monitor position of the payload (58) and generate a position signal (64); and a summing node (56) responsive to the velocity signal (62) and the position signal (64) to generate a blended signal (66). The velocity signal (62) dominates the blended signal (66) for high system frequencies, the position signal (64) dominates the blended signal (66) for low system frequencies, and a combination of the velocity signal (62) and the position signal (64) dominates the blended signal (66) for intermediate system frequencies.
