Far-Field Spatial Response of Off-Diagonal GMI Wire Magnetometers. Application to Magnetic Field Sources Sensing
Abstrak
Studying the spatial response of a single-axis magnetometer could be the key parameter to optimize the ultimate performances of magnetic heads of detection. Indeed, the problem of non-orthogonality, misalignment, and 3D spatial response could be improved based on the knowledge of the 3D sensor spatial response. In that way, we have investigated the latter for our giant magneto-impedance (GMI) magnetometer, as a far-field pattern, by using a three-axis Helmholtz coil system. Firstly, we calibrate our device and secondly, we apply a specific 3D magnetic field to obtain this pattern. The latter helps to observe the directional or angular dependence of the sensor sensitivity versus the applied magnetic field, as we exemplified. The results confirm the excellent directivity of our off-diagonal GMI magnetometer. The evaluation of the associated error compared to an ideal vector magnetometer is also given and discussed.
