Abstract

A location sensor in which a satellite receiver, a rotation rate sensor constituting a direction sensor, and an acceleration sensor constituting a displacement sensor are arranged in a housing. The signals of these sensors are conveyed to a common filter, so that the location, the movement velocity, and/or the movement direction can be picked off at the output of the location sensor. The compact arrangement of the individual sensors makes possible multiple utilization of individual components, for example of filters.
