Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, an induction-based reference point locator is provided. The locator includes transmitter locatable at a position on a first side of a structure, the transmitter configured to generate an alternating magnetic field at a desired frequency; and a receiver locatable on a second side of the structure opposite the first side, the receiver configured to detect the magnetic field and provide a directional indication to the position of the transmitter relative to the second side of the structure.

An induction-based reference point locator, comprising:
- a transmitter locatable at a position on a first side of a structure, the transmitter configured to generate an alternating magnetic field at a desired frequency;
- and
- a receiver locatable on a second side of the structure opposite the first side, the receiver configured to detect the magnetic field and provide a directional indication to the position of the transmitter relative to the second side of the structure.
An induction-based reference point locator, comprising:
- a transmitter locatable at a position on a first side of a structure, the transmitter configured to rotate a magnet to generate an alternating magnetic field at a particular frequency;
- and
- a receiver locatable on a second side of the structure opposite the first side, the receiver configured to:
- convert the alternating magnetic field to an alternating current signal;
- filter the alternating current signal to identify the frequency;
- and
- generate a directional indication to the position of the transmitter relative to the second side of the structure based on the alternating current signal.
An induction-based reference point locator, comprising:
- a transmitter locatable at a position on a first side of a structure, the transmitter configured to cause a direction of magnetic polarity of a magnet to be alternately rotated in a direction through the structure an alternating magnetic field at a particular frequency;
- and
- a receiver locatable on a second side of the structure opposite the first side, the receiver configured to detect an alternating magnetic field generated by the transmitter and generate a directional indication to the position of the transmitter relative to the second side of the structure based on the alternating magnetic field.
