Abstract
A magnetic tracking system includes a field generator assembly for generating a plurality of magnetic fields, wherein each magnetic field is generated by a respective magnetic field generator of the field generator assembly, at least one of the magnetic field generators having a first angular orientation and at least another of the magnetic field generator having a second angular orientation, different from the first angular orientation. The magnetic tracking system includes a magnetic sensor to measure the plurality of magnetic fields, and a computing device configured to compute a position and orientation of the magnetic sensor within the magnetic fields being measured by the sensor. The first angular orientation is between one and fifteen degrees and the second angular orientation is between one and fifteen degrees.
