  • Publication number: 20230179030
    Abstract: Example positioning system based on a low frequency magnetic field and apparatus are described. One example positioning system includes a low frequency magnetic field transmit apparatus and a low frequency magnetic field receive apparatus. The transmit apparatus includes a transmit coil, a conflict detect coil, and a magnetic field generation detection control module. The receive apparatus includes a receive coil and a magnetic field detection control module. When the conflict detect coil does not sense a low frequency magnetic field signal, the magnetic field generation detection control module controls the transmit coil to transmit a first low frequency magnetic field signal. When the received low frequency magnetic field signal is the first low frequency magnetic field signal, the magnetic field detection control module determines relative positions of the transmit coil and the receive coil based on signal strength of the first low frequency magnetic field signal.
