Abstract
A system and method include transmitting a signal according to a set of frequencies. A frequency range associated with the set of frequencies is from about 300 Hz to about 30 MHz. The system and method include sensing an electromagnetic field based on transmitting the signal according to the set of frequencies and determining a distortion in association with sensing the electromagnetic field. The system and method include identifying frequencies at which the magnitude of the distortion is less than the threshold value. The system and method include transmitting the signal according to one or more of the identified frequencies and providing navigation information associated with an environment in response to transmitting the signal.
