1 𝑅 𝑥 𝑥 means that used time constant is from autocorrelation, and 𝐴 𝑙 𝑙 𝑎 𝑛 from Allan variance plot. Low cut and high cut correspond to the cutting-off frequencies of the low-pass and high-pass filter used to calculate 𝜎 b i a s and 𝜎 b w , respectively. 𝜎 b w and 𝜎 b i a s have the same unities of their respective measurement variables.
Used in the simulations.
