Abstract

This paper presents investigations and associated results for the characterization of a giant magneto-resistance (GMR) sensor at varying temperature conditions. The approach constitutes an experimental setup using a commercial GMR sensor for the measurement of the magnetic field response of the system. The work aims to act as fully-operational evidence of the application, with an emphasis on the standard mode of operation and to improve the sensitivity of the measurement system. The system provides high flexibility in design applications where local magnetic fields must be detected. The measurement setup can be modified and redesigned for a wide variety of applications, thus allowing a path for future research, for better accuracy and extended operating range.
