Magnetic Moment Measurement Method Based on Magnetic Sensor Array

Abstract

The magnetic moment measurement method based on magnetic sensor array is proposed to solve the problems of cumbersome calculation process and low inversion accuracy in the current magnetic moment calculation methods. Based on the concepts of magnetic field intensity, magnetic gradient tensor and Frobenius norm, this method can use the magnetic field information collected by magnetic sensor array to calculate the magnetic moment vector. The factors that may affect the measurement effect, such as sensor array structure, sensor precision and baseline size, are analyzed by simulation, and the advantages and disadvantages of three magnetic moment measurement methods based on magnetic sensor array are compared. Simulation results show that the proposed method is flexible in use, convenient in measurement, accurate in results, and has strong feasibility and reliability in geological survey and other applications.
