STABILIZATION OF THE VARIABLE-MU MAGNETOMETER.

Abstract

A magnetic detector exhibiting high sensitivity, high frequency response, ruggedness and a true component pattern of directivity will obviously find utility in many applications. Such a device is the Variable-Mu Magnetometer. The basic principle is described, and a brief description of the electronic circuitry used in these instruments is given. Several methods of stabilization are mentioned, and some of the many lab test are outlined. Two three-component, orthogonally placed sensors and related electronics systems were built using these techniques and were field tested. The characteristics of these instruments are discussed, methods of stabilization are compared, and conclusions are given. (Author)
