Abstract
RESTREPO-ALVAREZ, Andrés Fernando; FRANCO-MEJIA, Edinson; CADAVID-RAMIREZ, Héctor and PINEDO-JARAMILLO, Carlos Rafael. A simple geomagnetic field compensation system for uniform magnetic field applications. Rev.fac.ing.univ. Antioquia [online]. 2017, n.83, pp.65-71. ISSN 0120-6230. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.redin.n83a09.
In this paper a simple geomagnetic field compensation system for uniform magnetic field applications of low magnitude and frequency is presented. The compensation system is based on an array of Tri-axial Square Helmholtz (TSH) coils, an array of tri-axial Hall effect sensors and a microcontroller system in order to compensate the small variations of the ambient magnetic fields (magnitudes close to the geomagnetic field between 25 μT and 65 μT) on a volume of interest. The geomagnetic field experimentally obtained of 39.5 μT was compensated, achieving a uniform magnetic field of approximately zero. Finally, the proposed system emerges as a simple alternative for control and compensation of magnetic fields in several applications.
