21. Target Tracking using Maxwell’s Equations
University essay from ReglerteknikAbstract : Starting from Maxwell’s equations, we derive a sensor model for three-axis magnetometerssuitable for localization and tracking applications. The model dependson the relative position between the sensor and the target, orientation of the targetand its magnetic signature. Both point targets and extended target modelsare provided. READ MORE

22. Pulsation signatures on SANAE magnetometers
University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysikAbstract : The newest station in the South African National Antarctic Expedition, the SANAE IV, hostsnumerous research programmes. One is AMIGO which aims to establish the correlationbetween the solar wind and the magnetosphere. A magnetometer, located at a geographicposition of2.83°W, 71. READ MORE

23. Numerical Modeling and Evaluation of the Small Magnetometer in Low-Mass Experiment (SMILE)
University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysikAbstract : Fluxgate magnetometers have played a major role in space missions due to their stability, range of operation and low energy consumption. Their principle of operation is relatively simple and easy to implement, a nonlinear magnetic material is driven into saturation by an alternating excitation current inducing a voltage that is modulated by the external field intended to be measured.

24. GPS-based attitude determination
University essay from Institutionen för systemteknikAbstract : Inertial sensors and magnetometers are often used for attitude determination of moving platforms. This thesis treats an alternative method; GPS-based attitude determination. By using several GPS-antennas, and with carrier phase measurements determining the relative distance between them, the attitude can be calculated. READ MORE
