We have developed a multiple magnetoresistive sensor as an alternative
to a Hall sensor for use in mapping the magnetic field in the vicinit
y of a superconductor. Magnetoresistivity curves of 32 individual stri
pe sections have been measured in a parallel field at 77 K. The sensit
ivity and resolution of the magnetic field of the sensor are evaluated
. A brief comparison of the magnetoresistive sensor versus the Hall pr
obe is given.
