Flux-gate Magnetometer

Idealized waveforms for a Vaquier-type fluxgate sensor.


Block schematic diagram of a simple second-harmonic fluxgate magnetometer. The information relating to field intensity and direction is carried in the second harmonic of the excitation. PSD-phase sensitivity detector; LPF-low-pass filter.
