Efficient ULF Transmission Utilizing Stacked Magnetic Pendulum Array

A novel stacked magnetic pendulum array (MPA) is proposed as an antenna for efficient transmission in ultralow frequencies (ULF). The MPA structure consists of an array of m Å~ n

magnets stacked in n rows (m magnets of the same magnetization per row) and a solenoid that encompasses the array.

Radio Frequency Precession Modulation-Based

Magnetic Field Sensors

High sensitivity is often the foremost characteristic for magnetic field sensors; however, the

most sensitive systems tend to be attributed with being any combination of large in size, high in power consumption, complex in design, or exorbitant in cost. Herein we propose a concept for sensor operation that can achieve sensitivities competitive with those of modern magnetic  eld sensors while simultaneously maintaining small size, low power consumption, simplicity in design, and low cost.

Physics-based equivalent circuit models for frequency-selective limiters (FSLs)

A physics-based nonlinear circuit model is developed for frequency-selective limiters (FSLs) based on thin-film magnetic materials. The equivalent circuit model is structured and its parameters are determined rigorously from the fundamental physics of electromagnetic waves and spin waves.
