    Abstract

    This papers reports a magnetic field gradient-basedimaging system for in-body devices which takes inspiration from the localization principles of magnetic resonance imaging. By applying three orthogonal magnetic field gradients, the location of a device inside the body can be determined by measuring the magnetic fields in the device and transmitting this information to an external reader. The proposed localization system produces magnetic field gradients up to 187.4 G/m while consuming 1 A and achieves an average localization error of 80μm.
