Optimal Design of a New Rotating Magnetic Beacon Structure Based on Halbach Array

At present, the magnetic signals generated by the common artificial magnetic beacons change periodically with sinusoidal law, and there is a multi-value problem in measuring the target orientation by using the phase information of the magnetic signals. According to the characteristics of Halbach arr...

description At present, the magnetic signals generated by the common artificial magnetic beacons change periodically with sinusoidal law, and there is a multi-value problem in measuring the target orientation by using the phase information of the magnetic signals. According to the characteristics of Halbach array, a kind of artificial magnetic beacon based on Halbach array is studied. This beacon has the characteristics of magnetic signal aggregation, which can avoid the multi-value problem and facilitate the extraction of phase information. Firstly, the array model is established with MATLAB, the magnetization direction of each permanent magnet is adjusted, and particle swarm optimization is used to find the structural parameters with the strongest magnetic field characteristics. Finally, COMSOL physical simulation software is used to verify the usability of the proposed structure.
