  2. MEMS magnetic field sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEMS_magnetic_field_sensor

    A MEMS magnetic field sensor is a small-scale microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device for detecting and measuring magnetic fields (magnetometer). Many of these operate by detecting effects of the Lorentz force : a change in voltage or resonant frequency may be measured electronically, or a mechanical displacement may be measured optically.

  3. Plate detector (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_detector_(radio)

    [7] [8] The circuit is operated in the region where grid current does not occur during any portion of the carrier frequency cycle, thus the name "Infinite Impedance Detector". An example schematic diagram of an implementation using a field effect transistor is shown. As with the standard plate detector, the device is biased almost completely off.

  4. EMF measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMF_measurement

    E-field projections on an orthogonal reference frame. Measurements of the EMF are obtained using an E-field sensor or H-field sensor which can be isotropic or mono-axial, active or passive. A mono-axial, omnidirectional probe is a device which senses the Electric (short dipole) or Magnetic field linearly polarized in a given direction.

  5. Inductive sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_sensor

    An inductive sensor is a device that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to detect or measure objects. An inductor develops a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it; alternatively, a current will flow through a circuit containing an inductor when the magnetic field through it changes. This effect can be used to ...

  6. Hall effect sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

    Hall sensors are used for proximity sensing, positioning, speed detection, and current sensing applications [1] and are common in industrial and consumer applications. Hundreds of millions of Hall sensor integrated circuits (ICs) are sold each year [2] by about 50 manufacturers, with the global market around a billion dollars. [3]

  7. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    Fiber optic current sensor, using an interferometer to measure the phase change in the light produced by a magnetic field. Rogowski coil, electrical device for measuring alternating current (AC) or high speed current pulses. Giant Magnetoresistance(GMR): Magnetic field sensor suitable for AC & DC Current with higher accuracy than Hall Effect.

  8. Eddy-current sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy-current_sensor

    Diagram of a coil inducing an eddy current in a conductive plate. The relative motion causes a circulating flow of electrons, or currents, within the conductor. These circulating eddies of current create electromagnets with magnet fields that oppose the effect of applied magnetic field. The stronger the applied magnetic field, or greater the ...

  9. Near-field scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-field_scanner

    Electromagnetic near-field scanner (NFS [1]) is a measurement system to determine a spatial distribution of an electrical quantity provided by a single or multiple field probes acquired in the near-field region of a device under test possibly accompanied by the associated numerical post-processing methods enabling a conversion of the measured quantity into electromagnetic field.
