Abstract

A magnetic field sensor generates signal components corresponding to an uncalibrated representation of a sensed magnetic field in a three-dimensional coordinate system. A reader coupled to the magnetic field sensor determines a center offset based on received signal components, adjusts the received signal components based on the determined center offset, and applies Kalman filtering to the adjusted signal components, generating a set of ellipsoid parameters. The reader generates calibrated signal components based on the determined center offset and the generated set of ellipsoid parameters.
