    摘要: A system and method for separating spacecraft generated magnetic noise from geomagnetic field data includes detecting magnetic information using a plurality of magnetometers and outputting a representative detection signal, the magnetic information comprising magnetic noise and geomagnetic field data; receiving the representative detection signal including the magnetic information from the plurality of magnetometers and resolving the magnetic noise data and the geomagnetic field data by analyzing a relative gain and phase of the representative detection signal in a time-frequency (TF) domain, if a noise signal of the representative detection signal is sparse in the TF domain then the relative gain and phase is found using cluster analysis, and separating a geomagnetic field data signal from a magnetic noise data signal using cluster centroids in compressive sensing based on the cluster analysis. The system and method further includes outputting a resultant signal representative of at least the geomagnetic field data signal.

    摘要: A magnetic parking sensor including a detection device for detecting geomagnetic measured values in the region of a parking space in three coordinates; a first-in, first-out memory device into which the geomagnetic measured values are loadable; and an ascertainment device. The ascertainment device is configured to map the x and y components of the geomagnetic measured values into complex numbers, the complex numbers being ascertainable depending on the variability of the defined number of the geomagnetic measured values; to define a number system having a defined number of elements in accordance with the variability of the geomagnetic measured value and of the complex numbers; and to ascertain an availability state of the parking space by ascertaining a root λn of the polynomial λ3−(2n−1)λ2−(n−1)2λ−(n2+1), where n=variability of the geomagnetic measured values, λ=auxiliary variable of the number theory.

    摘要: A system includes a magnetic sense element for detecting an external magnetic field along a sensing axis and a magnetic field source proximate the magnetic sense element for providing an auxiliary magnetic field along the sensing axis. The magnetic sense element produces a first output signal having a magnetic field signal component, responsive to the external magnetic field, that is modulated by an auxiliary magnetic field signal component responsive to the auxiliary magnetic field. A processing circuit identifies from the first output signal an influence of a magnetic interference field on the auxiliary magnetic field signal component, the magnetic interference field being directed along a non-sensing axis of the magnetic sense element, and applies a correction factor to the magnetic field signal component to produce a second output signal in which the influence of the magnetic interference field is substantially removed.

    摘要: A method for detecting an error in a bridge sensor which is adapted for measuring a physical parameter. The method comprises biasing a first contact pair of the bridge sensor at least two times in a first direction and at least one time in a second direction opposite to the first direction; while biasing the first contact pair, measuring an output signal on a different contact pair of the bridge sensor, thus obtaining at least three output measurements which are representative for the physical parameter and which are separated by time intervals; combining the output measurements to obtain an output value which is indicative for an error in the bridge sensor, wherein the output measurements which are combined are only those output measurements which are measured when biasing the first contact pair.
