Development of Fluxgate Magnetometers Based on Fe₆₁Co₁₉Si₅B₁₅ Amorphous Ribbons

Abstract:

This paper deals with the characterization of fluxgate magnetometers that adopt a Fe₆₁Co₁₉Si₅B₁₅ ribbons as magnetic core. The experimental characterization concerned the dependence of Δt and ΔV according to the magnetic field H_dc. The change of the field (variable input) held by changing the offset, adding a small dc voltage to ac, taking in extremely important results. Still, examined the dependence of ΔV on the frequency for two different types of coils, a circular and an oval coil, made of the same material, Fe₆₁Co₁₉Si₅B_15.
