Magneto-Inductive Sensors

 

 

Magneto-inductive sensors incorporate a coil surrounding a ferromagnetic core whose permeability changes within the earth's magnetic field. The coil serves as the inductive element in an oscillator, whose frequency is proportional to the magnetic field being measured. A DC current is provided to set the oscillator into its linear region. Directional change in the magneto-inductive sensor causes a shift in the oscillator frequency, enabling the magnetometer to provide directional and navigational feedback.
