Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for providing an azimuth angle, i.e., an apparatus for calculating an azimuth angle using an angular rate sensed by a gyro sensor, which has rotated by an arbitrary angle, and an angle of rotation. The apparatus for providing an azimuth angle in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention may comprise a rotating member, an angular rate sensor mounted on the rotating member, and a driving unit configured to rotate the rotating member by a first angle. The angular rate sensor may be configured to sense an angular rate of the rotating member. The apparatus may further comprise an azimuth angle estimation unit configured to estimate an azimuth angle of the apparatus based on the sensed angular rate and the first angle.
