YOKE STRUCTURES FOR IMPROVED MAGNETOMETER PERFORMANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103100 titled 'YOKE STRUCTURES FOR IMPROVED MAGNETOMETER PERFORMANCE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes yoke structures for improved magnetometer performance, including a yoke structure with hard and soft magnetic layers, as well as a multilayer yoke structure with non-magnetic and magnetic material layers.
- Yoke structure with hard and soft magnetic layers:
- The yoke structure includes at least one hard magnetic layer and at least one soft magnetic layer. - The first coercivity of the hard magnetic layer is greater than the second coercivity of the soft magnetic layer. - At least one magnetic sensing element is located in proximity to the soft magnetic layer.
- Multilayer yoke structure with non-magnetic and magnetic material layers:
- The yoke structure comprises layers of non-magnetic material and magnetic material along a dimension. - At least one magnetic sensing element is located in proximity to the yoke structure.
