Abstract
A technique for calculating magnetic field information from a magnetic sensor employs a sensing unit containing the magnetic sensor and another sensor capable of providing a measure of change in orientation. The method includes sampling a magnetic field at points in time and sampling the other sensor at each point in time. The method then entails rotating to a common time instant the magnetic field samples using the orientation of the sensing unit estimated by means of the other sensing modality in order to eliminate variations between magnetic samples due to changes in orientation of the sensor unit within such time interval. The magnetic samples, corrected for the sensor rotation in such interval, are used to calculate magnetic field related information specific to the given time interval and the magnetic field related information is communicated to a receiver at a rate lower than the sample rate.
