Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The subject follows Measurements and sensors and extends knowledge of students into the area of magnetic effects that are used for realization of presently widely applied magnetic sensors. To understand such effects and to show their practical applications are the main aim of the subject. We focus our attention to Hall effect sensors, sensors based on magneto-resistance principle (AMR, GMR, etc.), fluxgate sensors, NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), SQUID, giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) and asymmetric gigant magnetoimpedance (AGMI), magneto-optical sensors based on the Faraday and Kerr effects, magneto-diodes and magneto-transistors.
