E. Hristoforou et al., A NEW MAGNETIC-FIELD SENSOR-BASED ON MAGNETOSTRICTIVE DELAY-LINES, IEEE transactions on instrumentation and measurement, 46(2), 1997, pp. 632-635
A magnetic field sensor based on the dependence of the magnetostrictiv
e delay line (MDL) response on its biasing magnetic field is presented
in this paper, Such a sensor can be formed in an integrated array mea
suring the distribution of field along the MDL axis, Experimental resu
lts are reported for amorphous FeSiB wire MDL's, showing that high sen
sitivity and nonhysteresis are two advantages of this type of sensor.
