In this article we have investigated how the arbitrary orientation of a passive localization object in a magnetic field affects that field. For that we have identified the two sources of uncertainty, the geometrical extent of the object and the field inhomogeneity, and have quantified their effect analytically. Based on that we have compared the performance of several localization algorithms on that field variation. Results show that a dipole model is sufficient for the localization algorithm.
