Abstract :
Summary form only given. An American football was tracked using a long-range magneto-quasistatic position and orientation measurement system. A low-weight emitter that emitted a low-frequency quasistatic magnetic field was embedded within an American football. The emitter weighed a total of 26.5 g, which was within the manufacturing tolerance of an American football.
