发明名称 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD CHARACTERISTICS WITHIN A VOLUME
摘要 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 b e 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.
