Abstract

The article describes the results obtained from research, manufacture and quality improvement of an inexpensive digital magnetic compass system. Given that the receivers of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) signals are not expensive, in order to increase the accuracy and reliability of the compass, in this paper, the authors propose a method to use the signal of the GNSS global positioning system to compare and adjust the azimuth value of the Digital magnetic compass (DMC).

Highlights

  • The magnetic compass system on ships is very important [1,2]

  • A low-cost Digital magnetic compass system is proposed, characterized by high performance fully complying with the standards of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which is of great importance

  • The authors describe the results of research and manufacture of a digital magnetic compass system and propose a method for using the signal received from the GPS positioning sensor to correct the readings of the Digital magnetic compass (DMC) of the system

Summary

Introduction

The magnetic compass system on ships is very important [1,2]. A low-cost Digital magnetic compass system is proposed, characterized by high performance fully complying with the standards of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which is of great importance. Satellite navigation technology is developing very strongly. Many manufacturers have produced many types of satellite receivers with low cost but high accuracy. The global navigation satellite system GNSS is designed to determine the location, speed, and the exact time of sea, air, land and other types of consumers. The authors describe the results of research and manufacture of a digital magnetic compass system and propose a method for using the signal received from the GPS positioning sensor to correct the readings of the DMC of the system
