Hi everyone,
I am using an LSM6DS3 IMU sensor for my current project.
In Application Note AN4650, I read that the gyroscope analog signal coming from the mechanical parts is filtered by a low-pass anti-aliasing filter (having a constant bandwidth). Do we know what is the constant bandwidth?

Maybe the question is what is bandwidth.
(https://www.sfu.ca/sonic-studio-webdav/handbook/Filter.html)
Bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower frequencies in a continuous band of frequencies.
In electronic filter design, a filter specification may require that within the filter passband, the gain is nominally 0 dB with a small variation, for example within the ±1 dB interval. In the stopband(s), the required attenuation in decibels is above a certain level, for example >100 dB. In a transition band the gain is not specified. In this case, the filter bandwidth corresponds to the passband width, which in this example is the 1 dB-bandwidth. If the filter shows amplitude ripple within the passband, the x dB point refers to the point where the gain is x dB below the nominal passband gain rather than x dB below the maximum gain.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_(signal_processing)
An anti-aliasing filter (AAF) is a filter used before a signal sampler to restrict the bandwidth of a signal to satisfy the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem over the band of interest.

Hi @RobGeografo ,
As mentioned at page 13 of AN4650, The anti-aliasing filter bandwidth depends on the selected accelerometer ODR as shown in the table:

Hi @RhSilicon ,
Thank you for your reply.
The accelerometer anti-aliasing filter bandwidth can be selected using BW_XL [1:0].
The gyroscope anti-aliasing filter bandwidth seems to be constant. Do we know the constant value? Is it just half of the configured ODR?
Thanks

Hi @Federica Bossi,
That's for the accelerometer, isn't it? Or is it the same for the gyroscope?
Best,

Hi @RobGeografo ,
What I sent is for accelerometer, for the gyroscope the information about the anti-aliasing filter is reserved.
However if you give me more details about your application and why you are interested in the bandwdith of the anti-aliasing filter I may help you.
Thanks

Hi @Federica Bossi,
Could you please give me your e-mail address and I can give you more details offline?
Best,
Rob
