  • System, method and object for high accuracy magnetic position sensing
    Patent number: 11821763
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining position are provided. An object produces a magnetic field having a first vector component, a second vector component, and a third vector component that are orthogonal to one another. A sensor measures a magnitude of each of the first, second, and third vector components when the object is within a range of positions. A controller is connected to the sensor and determines a relative position of the object within an undetermined cycle of a plurality of cycles based on the magnitude of the first vector component and the magnitude of the second vector component. The controller determines a cycle of the plurality of cycles in which the object is located based on the magnitude of the third vector component. The controller determines an absolute position of the object based on the relative position of the object and the cycle in which the object is located.
