What is the definition used for determining Pitch Angle in IDFS?
When the pitch angle is defined, definitions of sensor direction and magnetometer are given. The magnetometer determines the magnetic field components, and thus, the magnetic field direction. The vector dot product is formed from the magnetic field direction and the negative of the sensor look direction (that is the sensor look direction is the outward pointing normal to the sensor). This forms the angle between the particle velocity vector and the direction of the magnetic field, thus the normal definition of the pitch angle.
