In this study, we have investigated that the excitation current and operation frequency dependences of the output properties of the orthogonal fluxgate sensor which was fabricated with a Co base amorphous wire and a pick-up coil. The output signal increased linearly with increase of the excitation current below 0.3 A, and decreased with increase of the excitation current over 0.6 A. It was also found that the output increased sensitively with increase of operation frequency below 1.3MHz. The output was 3.8 V at the frequency of 1.3MHz while 1.32 V at 1MHz.

Co-based amorphous magnetic wire with a diameter of $125{\mu}m$ and a length of 40 mm was used as an inner conductor of a coaxial cable to construct a magnetic sensor. Sensor characteristics was measured up to 3 GHz with applied up to 60 Oe by using network analyzer. Frequency dependence of impedance for this sensor was very close to the impedance resonant pattern of transmission line and 250 MHz was obtained as a 1/4 wavelength without external magnetic field. Large impedance change was measured in the magnetic field range between 0 Oe and 1 Oe, which was influenced by permeability change of magnetic amorphous wire. Because ${\Delta}Z/{\Delta}H$ value of $300{\Omega}/Oe$ was obtained at 0.1 Oe, this coaxial cable with amorphous wire can be useful as a magnetic sensor.

This paper is concerned with the fabrication of (Fe,Co)-Si-B amorphous magneto-strictive wire which attracts strong attention as a new sensor material. First, we put the ingot of (Fe$\sub$1-x/Co$\sub$x/)$\sub$77/Si$\sub$8/B$\sub$15/ composition into quartz tube. Then, under the condition of 400MHz and 8kW, we melt and mix the in-got in the high frequency induction furnance. After that, we obtain the magnetostrictive wire of 100∼150$\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter by injection and rapid quenching within the high rotating water. Finally, we find that the wire is under the amorphous state.

In this paper, we mention the study on the sensing function of amorphous magneto- striction wire with about 125${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\Phi$ in diameter. The wire in fabricated by using injection and quenching method under the high speed rotating water flow. The wire\`s compotion is (Fe$_{75}$ $Co_{25}$)$_{77}$Si$_{8}$B$_{15}$ , and generates sharp Matteucci voltage by large Barkhausen jump effect even the weak magnetic field. In this study, we don\`t use pick-up coil. Instead, we apply external magnetic field of 3.6Oe in the direction orthogonal to the wire. Then, we detect Matteucci voltage of 1.lmV to both side of 20cm amorphous-wire. Thus, we find that the fabricated wire has the function necessary as the high sensitive sensor material.l.al.l.

A defect detection test was performed for a conductor using a amorphous wire sensor head. A uniform magnetic field was applied in the space between the most inner conductors of a spiral-typed coil. The conductor with a defect was placed on the space between the most inner conductors of spiral-typed coil. The defect can be detected from the differences of induced voltage measured in the vicinity of gap of the conductor. The induced voltage difference of 2.5mV was measured in the gap vicinity of the 1mm thick conductor having 0.5mm gap in the frequency region of 100kHz~600kHz.

ECT(eddy currentign testing) is very effective technique to detect a flaw within a conductor. Co-based amorphous wire was used as a sensor head. The wire has almost 0 magneto-striction and high permeability. An uniform magnetic field was applied to 1mm thick copper plate and $25{\mu}m$ thick aluminum sheet conductor using spiral typed coil The size of the coil has $40mm{\times}40mm$ outer width and $8mm{\times}8mm$ inner width. The copper plate and aluminum sheet has 0.5mm and 0.1mm wide gap, respectively. The frequency range of applied field was 100kHz-600kHz. The induced voltage difference of 2.5mV was obtained in the maximum voltage and minimum one measured across the gap of the 1mm thick conductor. In the case of aluminum sheet, 0.4mV was obtained. From this results, the effectiveness of Co-based amorphous wire was confirmed in the ECT technique.

To observe the effect of excitation coil pitch on the micro fluxgate magnetic sensor, two sensors are fabricated using multi layer board process and the pitch distance of excitation coil are $260\;{\mu}m$ and $520\;{\mu}m$, respectively. The fluxgate sensor consists of five PCB stack layers including one layer of magnetic core and four layers of excitation and pick-up coils. The center layer as magnetic core is made of a Co-based amorphous magnetic ribbon with extremely high DC permeability of ${\sim}100,000$ and has a rectangular-ring shape to minimize the magnetic flux leakage. Four outer layers as excitation and pick-up coils have a planar solenoid structure and are made of copper foil. In case of the fluxgate sensor having the excitation coil pitch of $260\;{\mu}m$, excellent linear response over the range of $-100\;{\mu}T$ to $+100\;{\mu}T$ is obtained with sensitivity of 780 V/T at excitation sine wave of $3V_{p_p}$ and 360 kHz. The chip size of the fabricated sensing element is $7.3\;{\times}\;5.7\;mm^2$. The very low power consumption of ${\sim}8\;mW$ is measured. This magnetic sensor is very useful for various applications such as: portable navigation systems, telematics, VR game and so on.
