The processing of the sensor core material was investigated on the operatio
n of the Fluxset magnetic field sensor. Static and dynamic magnetic propert
ies were measured, and the signal of the pick-up coil was investigated as a
function of processing. The sensitivity and signal/noise ratio of the sens
or can be improved significantly by polishing of the ribbon and heat anneal
