    摘要: A reduced size/thickness magnetic detection device includes: a substrate; and a magneto-impedance element at one substrate surface side and including a magneto-sensitive wire and a detection coil. The wire senses an external magnetic field component in a first axis direction in which the wire extends. The coil loops around the wire, and includes left-side and right-side coil parts coexisting along the wire, and a magnetic field direction changing body of soft magnetic material having at least a part at another substrate surface side or in the substrate above an intermediate position between left-side and right-side coil parts. The body can change an external magnetic field component in a third axis direction intersecting the substrate to a measurement magnetic field component in the first axis direction. The external magnetic field component in the third axis direction can be detected from a left-side coil part output and a right-side coil part output.

    摘要: A geomagnetic direction sensor has a plurality of magnetic cores for converging terrestrial magnetism arranged circumferentially with pre-set gaps, and magneto-resistive effect devices in the gaps so as to lie substantially at right angles to the direction of the magnetic field in the gaps. The geomagnetic direction sensor has at least a pair of magneto-resistive effect devices lying substantially at right angles to each other. The magnetic core is formed of a magnetic material having soft magnetic properties. The current is supplied to the excitation coils placed around the magnetic core for applying a bias magnetic field to the magneto-resistive effect devices. Another set of magneto-resistive effect devices are connected in series with the magneto-resistive effect devices arranged within the gap so as to be substantially parallel to the direction of the magnetic field.

    摘要: In a sourceless orientation sensor, the sensor measures the three orientation angles azimuth, elevation and roll in a fixed reference three-dimensional coordinate frame. The sensor utilizes a three-axis magnetic sensor to measure changes in the Earth's magnetic field in order to determine the azimuth and roll (or elevation) angles after the elevation (or roll) angle has been determined by other means. A first embodiment utilizes a separate sensor to measure the elevation (or roll) angle in a fixed reference three-dimensional coordinate frame while a three axis magnetic sensor is used to measure the Earth's magnetic field. The azimuth and the roll (or elevation) angles are then determined from these measurements. A second embodiment utilizes a combination of a three-axis accelerometer to sense the Earth's gravity to measure the absolute elevation and roll angles for slow motions and a two-axis rate sensor to measure the azimuth and elevation velocities in the sensor frame. A direct method employing translation and integration is used to find the azimuth and elevation angles in the fixed reference three-dimensional coordinate frame. The roll angle is then found from the magnetic sensor measurements. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: A magnetic sensor includes an elongated magnetic core and a coil wound on the periphery of the magnetic core so as to detect a magnetic field based on the change of inductance of the coil with high sensitivity and without increasing the number of turns of the coil. The number of turns of the coil in the central part of the magnetic core is larger than that of the coil at the end parts of the magnetic core. Thus, a bias field due to a bias current supplied to the coil is efficiently applied to the magnetic core. As a result, the inductance of the coil can be set to a large value without increasing the number of turns of the coil and a high sensitivity can be obtained.

    摘要: Digital logic comprising a high speed analog to digital converter, a high speed analog to digital converter, a digital multiplier, and an infinite impulse response filter and decimation circuit are used to digitize a magnetic signal that is subsequently processed by magnetic data processing algorithms. The high resolution digital to analog converter is directly incorporated in a feedback loop of a magnetometer sensor, and an expensive precision analog to digital converter is replaced by a less expensive, lower power digital to analog converter. The improvement provided by the present invention includes a high speed analog to digital converter coupled between the oscillator and a first input of a multiplier, and a second analog to digital converter that is coupled between the sense coil of the sensor and a second input of the multiplier. The output of the multiplier is coupled to an infinite impulse response filter and decimation circuit that produces the digital output signal from the magnetometer. The output of the infinite impulse response filter and decimation circuit is coupled by way of a digital to analog converter to the feedback coil of the sensor. Depending on the system requirements, the two analog to digital converters, the digital multiplier, and the infinite impulse response filter and decimation circuit may be implemented in one readily available microcontroller at low cost. This serves to reduce the number of components, complexity, and expense of the magnetometer.
