Magnetic Sensors and Magnetometers

Abstract

The object of this book is to present the principles, instrument designs and applications of available magnetic transducers. In order to accomplish this task, the author begins with a fundamental chapter that focuses on the phenomenological magnetism, units and sensor specifications. The book continues by dedicating a full chapter to each magnetic sensor family: Induction, Fluxgate, Magnetoresistor, Hall effect, Magneto-optical, Resonance, SQUIDS and other principles. It ends with three chapters on applications, testing, calibration and magnetic sensors for non-magnetic variables.
