    Abstract: An interference removal technique, called Wavelet-Adaptive Interference Cancellation for Underdetermined Platforms (WAIC-UP), is provided to effectively eliminate stray magnetic field signals using multiple magnetometers, without requiring prior knowledge of the spectral content, location, or magnitude of the interference signals. WAIC-UP capitalizes on the distinct spectral properties of various interference signals and employs an analytical method to separate them from ambient magnetic field in the wavelet domain.

    Abstract: A magneto-inductive DC magnetometer is provided that is operable to output fluxgate quality measurements in a low mass, volume, power and cost package. The magnetometer enables constellation-class missions not only due to its low-resource requirements, but also due to its potential for commercial integrated circuit fabrication. In addition, the magnetometer will be part of a ground-based Space Weather Underground Citizen Science instrument package that enables dense arrays of space weather-relevant observations at mid-latitudes. The magneto-inductive operating principle is based on a simple resistance-inductor (RL) circuit and involves measurement of the time it takes to charge and discharge the inductor between an upper and lower threshold by means of a Schmitt trigger oscillator. This time is proportional to the inductance that in turn is proportional to the field strength.

    Abstract: A system and method for separating spacecraft generated magnetic noise from geomagnetic field data includes detecting magnetic information using a plurality of magnetometers and outputting a representative detection signal, the magnetic information comprising magnetic noise and geomagnetic field data; receiving the representative detection signal including the magnetic information from the plurality of magnetometers and resolving the magnetic noise data and the geomagnetic field data by analyzing a relative gain and phase of the representative detection signal in a time-frequency (TF) domain, if a noise signal of the representative detection signal is sparse in the TF domain then the relative gain and phase is found using cluster analysis, and separating a geomagnetic field data signal from a magnetic noise data signal using cluster centroids in compressive sensing based on the cluster analysis. The system and method further includes outputting a resultant signal representative of at least the geomagnetic field data signal.
