* Each component of HFLuxPerIMeasured is the magnetic flux through one receiver coil (due to magnetic field H from transmitter coil), divided by the current I in one transmitter coil. HFLuxPerIMeasured has units of meters, and is a geometrical property of the coils' sizes, shapes, number of turns, ferromagnetic core (if any), positions, and orientations.

* Frederick H. Raab, "Quasi-Static Magnetic-Field Technique for Determining Position and Orientation", IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Vol. GE-19, No. 4, October 1981, pages 235-243, describes closed-form algorithm for concentric-dipole coil trios. Position is calculated first, directly in cartesian coordinates. Orientation is then calculated.
