The technology employed in the Applied Physics Systems magnetometer product line is generally referred to as a fluxgate technology. Fluxgate magnetometers employing saturable cores driven by a high frequency carrier parametrically up convert low frequency magnetic field variations to sidebands on the carrier.
SIG-802
The technology employed in the Applied Physics Systems magnetometer product line is generally referred to as a fluxgate technology. Fluxgate magnetometers employing saturable cores driven by a high frequency carrier parametrically up convert low frequency magnetic field variations to sidebands on the carrier. This approach produces a low noise, high accuracy sensor; noise level of 0.2 nanotesla RMS/√Hz and an offset drift of less than 5 nanotesla/°C are specifications for the SIG-802 fluxgate magnetometer system.
