This paper focuses on the problem of high-update-rate and high accuracy inertial measurement unit signal generation. In order to be in accordance with the vehicle's kinematic and dynamic characteristics as well as the characteristics of pseudorange of post-processed global navigation satellite system and their rate measurements, a novel dual quaternion interpolation and analytic integration algorithm based on actual flight data is proposed. The proposed method can simplify the piecewise analytical expressions of angular rates, angular increments and specific force integral increments. Norm corrections are adopted as constraint conditions to guarantee the accuracy of the signals. Numerical simulations are conducted to validate the method's performance.
Keywords: IMU signal generator; dual quaternion; integration simulation; spline interpolation.
