Abstract
The present invention is a magnetic field detection device that makes use of a frequency characteristic affording circuit in order to selectively detect magnetic signals from a frequency domain accurately at a high level of sensitivity. The present invention has a magneto-impedance element, a detector coil and a negative feedback coil which is wound around the magneto-impedance element, and a frequency characteristic affording circuit which affords a frequency characteristics on the negative feedback signal of a negative feedback connecting an output terminal thereof with the negative feedback coil. Using filters as the frequency characteristic affording circuit, the following are possible uses of this magnetic field detection device: a geomagnet detection device for earthquake prediction (using a high-pass filter), a bill validation apparatus for vending machines, etc. (using a low-pass filter), and a magnetic oscillation detection device for a magnetic gate system (using a band-reject filter).
