Analytical methods of data processing and algorithms of measurement of a reference magnetic source field are proposed and allow one to determine the measurement device position in a coordinate system associated with this source in biomagnetic investigations. Possible effects of magnetic noise, reference source dimensions, etc., to the accuracy of the inverse problem solution are numerically simulated.
