Magnetic fields of agricultural navigation

The perspective direction of improvement of mechanization of mobile processes of crop production is automation of self-moving machinery and machine-tractor aggregates (MTA) at the level providing performance of field farm work without human input. Ч It demands automation of definition process of the actual trajectories of robotic MTA rather planned which can be programmed by variation magnetic fields created by currents of navigation inductors. The article is described the technique of definition of the total magnetic field created in any point of space by currents of underground wires of navigation inductors. There are considered the magnetic fields created by cophased and antiphase currents of the 2nd and more wires. It is shown that the magnetic fields created by currents of cophased inductors are almost unsuitable for programming of planned trajectories of MTA by known amplitude and phase or differential and amplitude methods.
