Abstract

See full text

An electromagnetic tracking (EMT) system is configured for determining a frequency for generating at least a portion of a magnetic field signal using a transmitter coil of a plurality of transmitter coils. The EMT system configures a time-division multiplexed (TDM) control signal configured to cause the transmitter coil to transmit bursts of the magnetic field signal at the frequency. The EMT system configures a filter for filtering the TDM control signal, the filter configured to shape each burst to reduce or eliminate a harmonic artifact of the bursts. The EMT system causes the transmitter coil to generate the shaped bursts of the magnetic field signal. The EMT system receives, from a sensor, a sensor signal that corresponds to the magnetic field signal, the sensor including the output response indicative of the location of the sensor relative to the transmitter.
