In order to measure the location of medical micro-devices in the gastrointestinal tract, electromagnetic methods were developed considering the magnetic permeability of human bodies. Two varieties of electromagnetic localization methods have been implemented: one used direct current to generate the electromagnetic field, and the other uses alternating current. The two varieties of the localization principle were analyzed and relevant experiments were made. The experiments show that the alternating electromagnetic method acquires higher accuracy, higher stability and wider measurement range.
