The approach of using Magnetic Angular Rate Gravity (MARG) sensor for the current multi-sensor based pedestrian navigation algorithm magnetometers is susceptible to the external magnetic interference. The result of attitude is affected by many factors, like the low-precision MEMS gyro drift and large body linear acceleration measurements. In this paper, we propose anti-jamming algorithm which i...

When a sensor coil is placed in the field of an electromagnetic transmitter, a voltage is induced and may be measured. The amplitude of this voltage depends on the distance from the transmitter and the angle between the axes of the transmitter and the sensor. This relationship between the state of the coil and the voltages, known as the dipole model, can be exploited to track sensor coils in th...
