This sensor can perfectly serve to measure both the strength and the orientation of the earth's magnetic field. An incredibly high ME-voltage response of 0.871 V/Oe to the geomagnetic field with a resolution of 3 × 10−4 Oe has been achieved for composite laminates with a size of 15 mm × 1 mm. With respect to the field inclination, an angular sensitivity of 3.86 × 10−3 V/degree and an angular resolution of 10−1 degree have been determined. This simple and low-cost magnetic-field sensor is promising for applications not only as novel smart compasses and in global positioning devices, but also as magnetic biosensors. date: 2012-04-01 date_type: published official_url: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092442471200194X id_number: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2012.03.030 full_text_status: none publication: Sensors and Actuators A: Physical volume: 179 number: 0 pagerange: 78 - 82 refereed: TRUE issn: 0924-4247 related_url_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2012.03.030 related_url_type: pub citation: Giang, D.T.H. and Duc, P.A. and Ngoc, N.T. and Duc, N.H.
