Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We further improve the performance of the sensor. We implemented a hybrid arrangement that consists in a small permanent magnet and an electromagnet. This increases the intensity of the magnetic field increase the utilization of the bandwidth of the chip. Moreover, we have fixed the issue of high temperature of the electromagnetic coil and further increase the strength of the generated magnetic field. As a result, the temperature of the coil has been reduced to 45 degrees. At the same time, the strength of the generatable magnetic field increases to 0.6 mT. We have published 2 publications.
