REDUCTION OF NOISE IN ELECTRICAL FIELD MEASUREMENTS.

摘要

A method for removing cultural noise from a measurement of the field generated by an electromagnetic source, such as a current bi-pole or a magnetic loop source, the method comprising: simultaneously measuring the electromagnetic signal at a field measurement position and a calibration position close to the field measurement position, but in a null field of the source; using the field measurement and the calibration measurement to compute a filter that estimates the component of the field measurement that is correlated with cultural noise; convolving the computed filter with the calibration measurement to yield the estimated cultural noise component, and subtracting that component from the field measurement.
