Available topics
Bachelor thesis or master thesis (de or en)
Outline
- Development of a magnetic field mapper for mapping and visualizing indoor magnetic fields.
Boundary conditions
- Design of printed circuit board
- The device is moved around the room. The position and the magnetic eld are measured. The magnetic eld is then visualized on the PC.
- 32-channel inertial measurement unit (IMU) (ICM-42688-P) for localization
- RM3100 Magnetfeldsensor (x,y,z)
- Based on Raspberry Pi Pico W or ESP32

Outline
For an imaging system consisting of several magnetic field sensors, a system for determining the position of these sensors is to be developed and characterized.
Boundary conditions
- Development of a coil array (circuit board); control of the coil arrays;
- Measurement of the generated magnetic field with the sensors; reconstruction of the sensor position; characterization of the position inaccuracy
- Target position accuracy < 1mm

Outline
- A biomedical imaging system for magnetic nanoparticles consists, among other things, of several highly sensitive magnetic field sensors and is to be used in an unshielded environment. In this work, different algorithms for cleaning the sensor data from external disturbances (e.g. 50 Hz) are to be investigated.
Boundary conditions
- Example algorithms: Clever averaging, linear approximation;
- Model-based interference reduction, signal-space separation
- Investigation using simulated and measured magnetic field signals
- Programming language: Python
