Abstract :
A calibration of the well-defined Braunbek coil system was carried out using the scalar method. The whole measuring setup was designed to minimize the uncertainty of the scalar calibration procedure. The measurement time as well as the sampling ratio were adjusted to reduce the influence of the ambient magnetic field variation. We calibrated the coil sensitivity with the uncertainty of 30 ppm and orthogonality with the uncertainty <;0.01°. The results were compared with a different technique.
