Abstract

A system and method include a non-linear dynamic sensor, such as a magnetic field sensor, having an oscillator with a dynamic response that passes through a critical point beyond which the oscillator responds in an oscillatory regime. A processor operatively connected to the non-linear dynamic sensor is configured to, based upon an input signal x received by the non-linear dynamic sensor, adaptively self-tune the non-linear dynamic sensor to a dynamic range within the oscillatory regime adjacent to the critical point such that the input signal x spans the entire dynamic range. An array of such sensors includes a global feedback capability to mitigate coupling losses.
