heal.abstract	Analytical modeling of classical fluxgate sensor function is presented, accompanied by computer simulation results for numerous actual core hysteresis loops that enables theoretical verification of fluxgate limitations which obstruct efficient miniaturization. This mathematical analysis leads to the proposition and experimental verification of two alternative fluxgate signal extraction techniques that can be optimally utilized with conventional thin film and fine wire cores, and which may improve miniature sensor characteristics, thus enabling microsystem fabrication without performance degradation. Two fluxgate systems which meet the theoretically predicted performance, based on these techniques have been developed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.	en
