VERFAHREN ZUR KALIBRIERUNG EINES MAGNETISCHEN ORTUNGSGERÄTES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for calibrating a magnetic locator, said magnetic locator comprising at least a transmitter and a receiver, and said calibration method involving a third sensor consisting of a transceiver. The method comprises: transmission of a first magnetic field by the transmitter and reception of first signals generated in the receiver by the magnetic field (S1); transmission of a second magnetic field by the transmitter and reception of second signals generated in the transceiver by the magnetic field (S2); transmission of a third magnetic field by the transceiver and reception of third signals generated in the receiver by the magnetic field (S3), said calibration method comprising the determination (S4) of at least one magnetic moment of the transmitter and a magnetic moment of the receiver based on the first, second and third signals.
