DC Bias Current Influence to the Sensitivity of Orthogonal Fluxgate Sensor Fabricated with NiZn Ferrite Core  

Shin, Kwang-Ho (Department of Information & Communication Engineering, Kyungsung University)
Abstract
Orthogonal fluxgate sensor was fabricated with cylinder-shaped NiZn ferrite core, Cu wire through the core and pickup coil wound on the core, and the bias current effect on the output sensitivity of it was investigated. The output ($$\sim_\sim$$ sensitivity) of the sensor was largely dependent on the operation frequency, and the tendency of sensor output was similar to that of the impedance of pickup coil. The maximum output was obtained by adding the DC bias current of which value was over 50% of the excitation current. The output was saturated when the DC bias current was larger than 50% of the excitation current.
