Application of the guaranteeing approach to the accelerometer unit calibration problem

The guaranteeing approach is applied to the joint calibration problem of an accelerometer unit and a high-precision bench. An optimal calibration design with the minimum total number of angular positions of the bench is obtained. Optimal guaranteeing estimates of the requisite parameters are constructed. In practice, the necessary positions of the bench are often difficult to implement precisely; due to this fact, a procedure to take into account the inaccurate setup errors of the bench is discussed.
