The relation between electrical properties of YBaCuO ceramic superconductor and externally applied magnetic field was studied. Electrical characteristics of the superconductor with trapped magnetic fluxes are extremely sensitive to the external magnetic field and show the different responses which depend on the direction of the magnetic field. Considering these properties of the superconductor with trapped magnetic fluxes, a magnetic sensor is fabricated. This sensor is able to detect simultaneously both the intensity and the direction of the magnetic field. The sensitivity of the sensor is less than 10$^{-4} T.

The magnetic suspension system is used in many areas, because it has great advantages. such as no friction, no noise, no lubrication and so on, but it is a unstable system in natural. It must have a feedback control with the position is measured for a stable levitation. There are an eddy-current sensor, a capacitive sensor, an inductive sensor, and an optical sensor with a laser as the sensor which measures displacements without contact. Among them, an inductive sensor is made with lower price than others. And it has a good linearity. In this paper, a magnetic circuit leads a linear equation between an input as a displacement and an output as a voltage. Experiments establish that voltage change according to displacement is linear. This paper presents the preliminary study of an inductive position sensing for self-sensing magnetic suspension system.

This paper introduces the multi-coil eddy current sensor and its characteristic in magnetic material gas turbine rotor. In the past, magnetic particle inspection method was used for qualitative defect evaluation in magnetic material gas turbine rotor. And the ultrasonic inspection method was used for quantitative defect evaluation. Nowadays, eddy current method is used in magnetic gas turbine rotor inspection due to advanced sensor design technology. We developed multi-coil eddy current sensor for the rotor dovetail inspection. At first, rotor stress is analyzed for the determination of sensor position and number. The sensor coils are designed to cover the stress concentration area of rotor dovetail. We select optimum frequency according to material standard penetration data and experiment results. The rotor mock-up and artificial defects were made for the signal detection and resolution analysis of multi-coil eddy current sensor. The results show that signal detection and resolution capabilities are enhanced in comparison to the commercialized sensor enough for the gas turbine rotor inspection. So, this developed multi-coil eddy current sensor substituted for commercialized one and it applied in real gas turbine rotor inspection.

The efficiency of magnetic compass direction sensor and magnetic compass by the laboratory experiment for the apparatus of generating artificial magnetic force and the onboard experiment on the fishing boat of coastal pot at the outside of Pusan Namhang were investigated. The results showed that the bearing angle of magnetic compass direction sensor was coincided with that of magnetic compass. However, the performance of magnetic compasses was unsuitable under the ISO rule by the characteristic experiment of damping curve. Therefore, the use of autopilot system using magnetic compass direction sensor which is based on the magnetic compass needs the sufficient notice.

This paper presents the error correction method of magnetic position sensor using recursive least square method (RLSM) with forgetting factor. Magnetic position sensor is proposed for linear position detection of the linear motor which has tooth shape stator, consists of permanent magnet, iron core and linear hall sensor, and generates sine and cosine waveforms according to the movement of the mover of the linear motor. From the output of magnetic position sensor, the position of the linear motor can be detected using arc-tan function. But the variation of the air gap between magnetic position sensor and the stator and the error in manufacturing process can cause the variation in offset, phase and amplitude of the generated waveforms when the linear motor moves. These variations in sine and cosine waveforms are changed according to the current linear motor position, and it is very difficult to compensate the errors using constant value. In this paper, the generated sine and cosine waveforms from the magnetic position sensor are compensated on-line using the RLSM with forgetting factor. And the speed observer is introduced to reduce the effect of uncompensated harmonic component. The approaches are verified by some simulations and experiments.

This paper describes the highly-sensitive Si magnetic sensor using the amplitude modulation in order to real ice the integrated magnetic sensor which to sensor a weak magnetic field. Generally, the most important two parameters in Hall IC which degrade the ability of magnetic detection are the variation of offset according to the variation of temperature and the noise of amplifiers. In this paper, we use a Hall element and compensator to reduce the offset and the nouse of amplifiers by Using amplititude modulation method.

Five expensive sensors are necessary to control a magnetic bearing system. The sensor price rate of magnetic bearing system is high. So it is necessary that cheap and good sensor is developed. The optical fiber displacement sensor is adaptive to satisfy this condition. We can design magnetically suspended spindle based on static characteristic of optical fiber displacement sensor developed. The controller can be designed by decoupled feedback PD. Therefore, it is simpler than any other controller comparatively.

The performance of an inductive position sensor has approved by previous research papers. In this paper, magnetic circuit model of a ring-type multi-pole insuctive position sensor is described. The magnetic circuit model is required to design in ductive position sensor as well as draw a fault tolerance algorithm. Using the magnetic circuit theory, we derived the relationship between voltage applied and flux density in the normal air-gap. By idealizing the modulation/demodulation processes of signal processing circuit, sensor gain with respect to change of displacement is theoretically calculation using the magnetic circuit model, which validate the theoretical derivation.

With the development of weapon systems by mounting various sensors, it makes important to analyze the precise functioning of sensor to external environment. In the case of small arms with magnetic sensor, the malfunction of small arms might be caused by strong external magnetic fields. In this study, the effects of magnetic sensor on external magnetic fields were analyzed, and optimal magnetic shield and shield structure were designed through M&S. In addition, the magnetic-shielding effectiveness of magnetic sensor in small arms was verified with commercial shielding materials. As a result, it was demonstrated that the Fe-Cu-Si-Nd-B with the structure of multi-layer metallic shields was shown the magnetic-shielding effectiveness of 83 % for an external permanent magnet and 19 % for an alternating magnetic field of 180 dBpT at 60 Hz, respectively.

A magnetic field sensor is fabricated with superconducting ceramics of Y-Ba-Cu-O system. The prepared material shows the superconductivity at about 95K. The sensor at liquid nitrogen temperature shows the increase in electrical resistance by applying magnetic field. Actually, the voltage drop across the sensor is changed from zero to a value more than 100$\mu$V by the applied magnetic field. The change in electrical resistance depends on magnetic field. The sensitivity of this sensor is 2.9 ohm/T. The sensing limit is about $1.5\times$$10^{-5}$ (=1.5$\times$$10^{-1}$ G). The increase in electrical resistance by the magnetic field is ascribed to a modification of the Josephson junctions due to the penetrating magnetic flux into the superconducting material.
