SENSORS AND ACTUATORS A-PHYSICAL, cilt.145, ss.23-28, 2008 (SCI-Expanded)
Orthogonal fluxgate sensors need only a single core and they can be made very small. We show how to measure properties of composite Cu/Py ferromagnetic wires to be used as cores for these sensors. Besides the well known axial loops we show how to measure the circumferential hysteresis loop and gating curves, which can directly be used for sensor modeling.
