Development of fluxgate sensors and its applications

Abstract

Fluxgate sensors were firstly developed in the 1930 and were rapidly used for many of applications. These sensors have been used in robotic space probes to analyze, map and monitor the Earth's magnetic field and the other planets. They are also used in geological, aerospace, underwater navigation, land navigation and submarine detection. The future development of fluxgate is reducing their size and making them compatible with micro/nano-electronic technology. In this paper, we give a reviews recent development in the manufacturing technology and applications of fluxgate sensors.
