    Abstract: A thermomagnetic temperature sensor, a temperature measurement system and a method of measuring temperature employ a temperature-dependent resonant frequency of a thermomagnetic resonator to measure temperature. The thermomagnetic temperature sensor includes a thermomagnetic inductor and a capacitor connector to form the thermomagnetic resonator. The thermomagnetic inductor includes a ferromagnetic material having a temperature-dependent magnetic permeability to determine the temperature-dependent resonant frequency. A predetermined relationship between the temperature-dependent resonant frequency and temperature in a range between a maximum magnetic permeability value and a Curie temperature provides the measurement of temperature.

    Abstract: A thermomagnetic sensor, measurement system and a method of measuring temperature employ a thermomagnetic probe to measure temperature of a device using a thermomagnetic effect. The thermomagnetic sensor includes a plurality of coils configured to provide a mutual inductance measurement between a selected pair of coils of the plurality and the thermomagnetic probe between the selected pair. The thermomagnetic probe includes a ferromagnetic material having a temperature-dependent magnetic permeability determined from the mutual inductance measurement. A predetermined relationship between the temperature-dependent magnetic permeability and temperature in a range between a maximum magnetic permeability value and a Curie temperature provides a measurement of a temperature local to the thermomagnetic probe.
