Abstract
We discuss the directivity and sensitivity of high-frequency carrier type thin-film magnetic sensor (or so-called MI sensor.) Inductance of the sensor was proportional to cos3θ, where θ is an angle between the applied magnetic field direction and the length direction of the sensor. If the length of the sensor is bigger than its thickness and width, the intensity of effective magnetic field inside the magnetic thin film was proportional to Hdccosθ, where Hdc is the applied external dc field. A high sensitivity of 2×10-4 was obtained when a 140 MHz carrier current was applied and the signal was detected by a lock-in amplifier.
