Superconductors are dissipative when exposed to time-varying magnetic fields. To analyze the AC characteristics of a superconductor, one usually needs to know magnetization curves of it. Good magnetization curves can be obtained only in homogeneous magnetic filed. In This paper, we report the setup and test results of a magnetization measurement system, which consists mainly of frequency-variable power supply and homeogenous magnet with 7-cm long air gap. Special emphasis are foused on the design and fabrication of the magnet, which aims to give background magnetic fields, and on the overall characteristics of the system.
