Advanced Magnetic Sensing Navy STTR FY2005 Sol No.: Navy STTR FY2005 Topic No.: N05-T025 Topic Title: Advanced Magnetic Sensing Proposal No.: N054-025-0048 Firm: passive sensors unlimited 2200 Kraft Drive Suit 1200a Blacksburg, Virginia 24060 Contact: Jiefang Li Phone: (540) 443-9261 Abstract: Recently, our research team has developed a new generation of single element ME laminate composite magnetic field sensors. The ME effect is a polarization response to an applied magnetic field or conversely a magnetization response to an applied electric field. In Phase I of this program, Passive Sensors Unlimited and Virginia Tech will (i) prototype four ME sensor units, including detection circuitry; (ii) establish the performance characteristics of these four sensor units, with respect to signal-to-noise and bandwidth; and (iii) perform a limited field-test in order to demonstrate the ability to detect a target. Benefits: High performance magnetic field sensors that are battery operated, which have pico-Tesla resolution at extremely low frequencies. Return
