Abstract

Low-frequency search coil magnetometers are widely used for geophysical prospecting, space research, magnetic anomaly detection [1-17], etc. Their advantages compared to other magnetometers are high resolution and low power consumption, defined only by the power consumption of the preamplifier. The inherent reduction of the search coils’ resolution with frequency can be compensated by increasing their size. Thus, large enough low-frequency search coils can compete with and even outperform fluxgates [9-11,15-17].
