Abstract:Facing the application requirements of digital and small-volume magnetic field sensors, the existing inductive magnetic field sensors generally have the problems of complex hardware circuits, the need to use analog-to-digital conversion devices for digitalization, and it is difficult to achieve miniaturization, so it is necessary to explore a new principle magnetic field sensor. Therefore, this paper proposes a magnetic field sensor based on self-oscillating magnetic induction technology, which measures based on the linear relationship between the excitation voltage duty cycle and the measured magnetic field. Compared with other magnetic field sensors, the output of the magnetic field sensor proposed in this paper is in the form of duty cycle, which does not require additional filtering circuits and analog-to-digital conversion circuits, and the hardware circuit is relatively simple, so it is conducive to digitalization and miniaturization. At the same time, this paper analyzes the generation process of self-excited oscillation, and establishes the theoretical equation of excitation voltage duty cycle and measured magnetic field. A prototype was made to verify the feasibility of the magnetic field sensor based on self-excited oscillation magnetic induction technology. The results show that under open-loop conditions, the linearity of the sensor at ± 100000nT range is 0.98%.
