A review of magnetic sensors
Abstract
Eleven of the most common technologies used for magnetic field sensing are described and compared. These are the search coil, flux-gate, optically pumped, nuclear precession, SQUID, Hall-effect, magnetoresistive, magnetodiode, magnetotransistor, fiber optic, and magnetooptic technologies. The use of these sensors in relation to working with or around the Earth's magnetic field is addressed. Three classes of applications and a specific application from each are examined: low-sensitivity (noncontact switching), medium-sensitivity (magnetic anomaly detection and magnetic compassing), and high-sensitivity (brain-function mapping).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
