A high frequency carrier-type magnetic field sensor using carrier suppressing circuit

Abstract

A highly sensitive high frequency carrier-type magnetic field sensor based on the giant magnetoimpedance effect has been developed. It has been combined with a high frequency carrier suppressing circuit to reduce carrier phase noise dramatically. Highly sensitive magnetic field resolution of 8.8/spl times/10/sup -7/ Oe (8.8/spl times/10/sup -11/ T) was demonstrated.
