Patent CA-2355461-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for determining electromagnetic field characteristics within a volume
Inventor: KHALFIN IGOR
IPC: G01R33/04
Filed: 1999-11-01
Abstract: Electromagnetic field mapping is accelerated by acquiring data from the surface bounding a volume of interest and solving the boundary value problem (BVP) using Green's function. Instead of measuring electromagnetic field components on a step-by-step basis at each point within a region of interest, only a component of the field, preferably the normal component, is measured on the surface bounding the volume. The use of surface data acquisition, a solution to the BVP using Green's function, and optional error correction based on the treatment of errors as virtual sources, combine to produce a process of defining of the electromagnetic field within the volume that reduces to a few minutes what presently takes days or longer. Data acquisition may be carried out either by moving sensors along the surface or, preferably, by fixing the position of several single axis on the surface bounding the volume.
