Abstract: A magnetic navigation system utilizes a modular adaptive compensation pipeline to compensate or calibrate for various platform effects to which a vehicle is subjected. A denoising monitor detects noise characteristics in magnetic field data collected from one or more magnetometers of the vehicle and selectively activates one or more noise removal modules to remove noise from the magnetic field data, and a maneuver module detects a current state of the vehicle and selectively activates one or more maneuver modules to calibrate the magnetic field data for platform orientation effects.

Abstract: This application is directed to a local positioning system having a plurality of wire coils. Each wire coil includes one or more respective turns of wire that have a respective shape and a respective size and are arranged substantially in parallel with a respective wire plane. Each wire coil is configured to be electrically driven by a respective synchronous electric current carrying a respective train of pseudo-random waveforms according to a predefined bandwidth. For each wire coil, the respective train of pseudo-random waveforms includes a first number of waveform periods and is orthogonal to each other train of pseudo-random waveforms of the wire coils. In some embodiments, a receiver system is coupled to, and measures, the magnetic field created by the wire coils during each waveform period. The location of the receiver system is determined based on measured magnetic data vectors of the magnetic field.
