Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses and non-transitory computer-readable mediums are disclosed for a self-calibrating system architecture for magnetic distortion compensation. In an embodiment, an electronic system comprises: a magnetometer; a plurality of spaced-apart calibration coils proximate to the magnetometer; first circuitry configured to excite the calibration coils during a calibration phase of the electronic system; second circuitry configured to measure a first magnetic field vector in a vicinity of the magnetometer that is generated by the excited calibration coils; third circuitry configured to: generate sensitivity values based on the first magnetic field vector measurement and a baseline magnetic field vector; and a storage device configured for storing the sensitivity values.
