expand all in page

Description

The magparams class creates a magnetometer sensor parameters object. You can use this object to model a magnetometer when simulating an IMU with imuSensor.

Construction

params = magarams returns an ideal magnetometer sensor parameters object with default values.

params = magparams(Name,Value) configures magparams object properties using one or more Name,Value pair arguments. Name is a property name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside single quotes (''). You can specify several name-value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN. Any unspecified properties take default values.

Generate magnetometer data for an imuSensor object from stationary inputs.

Generate a magnetometer parameter object with a maximum sensor reading of 1200 μT and a resolution of 0.1 μT/LSB. The constant offset bias is 1 μT. The sensor has a power spectral density of ([0.6  0.6  0.9]100) μT/Hz. The bias from temperature is [0.8 0.8 2.4] μT/0C. The scale factor error from temperature is 0.1 %/0C.

params = magparams('MeasurementRange',1200,'Resolution',0.1,'ConstantBias',1,'NoiseDensity',[0.6 0.6 0.9]/sqrt(100),'TemperatureBias',[0.8 0.8 2.4],'TemperatureScaleFactor',0.1);

Use a sample rate of 100 Hz spaced out over 1000 samples. Create the imuSensor object using the magnetometer parameter object.

Fs = 100;
numSamples = 1000;
t = 0:1/Fs:(numSamples-1)/Fs;

imu = imuSensor('accel-mag','SampleRate', Fs, 'Magnetometer', params);

Generate magnetometer data from the imuSensor object.

orient = quaternion.ones(numSamples, 1);
acc = zeros(numSamples, 3);
angvel = zeros(numSamples, 3);
 
[~, magData] = imu(acc, angvel, orient);

Plot the resultant magnetometer data.
