In the electromagnetic localization system, the wireless magnetic sensor is embedded in the micro-devices to measure alternating magnetic signals. The wireless magnetic sensor is composed of an induction coil, a signal processor, a radio frequency （R.F） transmitter, a power manager and batteries. Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the induction coil converts the alternating magnetic signals into electrical signals. Via the RF transmitter, the useful data am wirelessly sent outside the body. According to the relation between the magnetic signals and the location, the position and orientation of the micro-devices can be calculated. The experiments demonstrate the feasibility of localizing in-vivo medical micro-devices with the wireless magnetic sensor. The novel localization system is accurate and robust.展开更多

Two varieties of electromagnetic localization methods have been implemented: one uses direct current(DC) to generate the elec-tromagnetic field, and the other uses alternating current (AC). The two varieties of the localization principle were analyzed and relevant experiments were made. The experiments show that the alternating electromagnetic method acquires higher accuracy, higher stability and wider measurement range.展开更多
