Electromagnetic trajectory simulation using triaxial cage

This paper implements an open-loop controller for generating earth's magnetic field in vessel's co-ordinate frame. It also incorporates the rotational movements along the three axes, without physically moving the object. This has potential application in prediction of signature for ferromagnetic marine vessels in changing earth's magnetic field experienced by the vessel due to change in location. It also considers the effect of roll, pitch and heading changes. Uniform magnetic field simulator is designed to generate the required magnetic field in the vessel's coordinate frame. Simulation results are verified using experimental laboratory setup.
