	abstract = {An experimental setup of an electromagnetic tracking system (EMTS) has been developed to perform fast catheter navigation for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The algorithm for the position and orientation (P\&O) calculation is implemented in MATLAB while the whole EMTS is programmed and controlled by LabVIEW. The system utilizes a field programmable gate array (FPGA) for signal generation, acquisition and filtering. With the frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and FPGA infinite impulse response (IIR) filter tec hnology, the developed system is able to track P\&O of the catheter tip 35 times per second in five degrees of freedom (DOF). A phantom experiment has been performed to evaluate the performance of the EMTS. After calibration, the positional accuracy of the EMTS is 1.4mm inside the region of interest (ROI).},
