Abstract

A magnetic field measurement system includes a wearable device having a plurality of wearable sensor units. Each wearable sensor unit includes a plurality of magnetometers and a magnetic field generator configured to generate a compensation magnetic field configured to actively shield the plurality magnetometers from ambient background magnetic fields. A strength of a fringe magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator of each of the wearable sensor units is less than a predetermined value at the plurality of magnetometers of each wearable sensor unit included in the plurality of wearable sensor units.
