Abstract
A three-axis upstream-modulated low-noise magnetoresistive sensor comprises an X-axis magnetoresistive sensor, a Y-axis magnetoresistive sensor, and a Z-axis magnetoresistive sensor, wherein the X, Y, and Z-axis magnetoresistive sensors respectively comprise X, Y, and Z-axis magnetoresistive sensing unit arrays, X, Y, and Z-axis soft ferromagnetic flux concentrator arrays, and X, Y, and Z-axis modulator wire arrays. The X, Y, and Z-axis magnetoresistive sensing unit arrays are electrically interconnected into X, Y, and Z-axis magnetoresistive sensing bridges respectively. The X, Y, and Z-axis modulator wire arrays are electrically interconnected into individual two-port X, Y, and Z-axis excitation coils. In order to measure external magnetic fields, the two-port X, Y, and Z-axis excitation coils are separately supplied with high-frequency alternating current at a frequency f, from a current supply. The X-axis magnetoresistive sensor, Y-axis magnetoresistive sensor, and Z-axis magnetoresistive sensor each output harmonic signal components having a frequency of 2f, which are then demodulated to obtain the X, Y, and Z-axis low-noise signals. This device is small in size, has low noise, and a simple structure.
