As shown in FIG. 1, in the coil 1 of the marker according to the embodiment of the present invention, three loop coils 11, 12, 13 having the same diameter and the same number of turns are arranged in the respective loop coils 11, 12, 13. The loop surfaces are arranged so as to be orthogonal to each other. Then, these loop coils 11, 12, and 13 are connected in series as shown in FIG. 2, for example, and the crystal resonator 2 and the capacitor 3 are connected in parallel to form a parallel resonance circuit, which is a marker detection signal. It constitutes a response means. The same result can be obtained even if the loop coils 11, 12, and 13 are connected in parallel.

As shown in FIG. 1, it is assumed that the search coil 4 is set horizontally with respect to the plane formed by the X axis and the Z axis.
With respect to this search coil 4, the loop coil 1 has X-axis and Y-axis.
The angles are deviated by angles α, β, and γ with respect to the axis and the Z-axis direction, respectively (the inclination of the loop coil 1 in any direction can be represented by declination in the three-axis directions).

First, the declination of the angle α about the X-axis direction will be analyzed.

The respective crossing angles between the search coil 4 and the loop coils 11, 12 and 13 are as follows for the loop coil 11: "π / 2-α" For the loop coil 12: "α" For the loop coil 13: "π / 2 (For the loop coil 13, there is no change in the crossing angle with the search coil 4 due to the declination of the angle α).

Therefore, as compared with the case where the respective loop coils 11, 12 and 13 are parallel to the search coil 4, the respective cross magnetic fluxes are “cos 2 (π / 2 −α) = sin 2 for the loop coil 11. For “α” times loop coil 12, “cos 2 α” times loop coil 13 becomes “cos 2 π / 2 = 0” times.

The total cross magnetic flux received by the coil 1 is the sum of the cross magnetic fluxes of the three loop coils 11, 12 and 13 described above. Therefore, the change in the cross magnetic flux received by the coil 1 is represented by "sin 2 α + cos 2 α ”times, and as is well known, sin 2 α + cos 2 α = 1, so that there is no change in the crossing magnetic flux due to the angle α about the X-axis direction.

It can be seen from the same analysis as above that the respective crossing magnetic fluxes due to the deflection angle β having the Y axis direction as the axis and the deflection angle component γ having the Z axis direction as the axis do not change.

As is clear from the above, the marker coil 1
Does not change with respect to the search coil 4 in any direction, the cross magnetic flux received from the search coil 4 does not change. Therefore, regardless of the laying posture of the marker, or the laying posture changes after laying, it is always the same. Signals can be exchanged between the marker and the search coil 4 at a constant level.

In order to arrange the three loop coils 11, 12, 13 so that the loop surfaces of the respective loop coils are orthogonal to each other, a groove for winding each loop coil of the spherical body may be provided and the coil may be wound in this groove. When each loop coil is connected to the crystal oscillator 2 and the capacitor 3 and the crystal oscillator 2 and the capacitor 3 are embedded in the recess formed in a part of the sphere, a spherical marker is obtained. The sphere may be hollow. Further, a groove around which each loop coil is wound may be formed in the frame body.
