*Abstract

The Electro-Mechanical Resonant Sensor (EMRS) is a new type of magnetic field sensor that will be able to satisfy the growing demand for low-cost, high-sensitivity sensors. EMRS can be used as an inexpensive and dependable alternative to traditional sensors in a broad range of possible applications, including GPS units and particle accelerator magnets. Manufactured using low-cost nano-fabrication techniques, EMRS can been capsulated to attain Q values of approximately 1000.

 

Potential Commercial Applications:

• GPS units in cell phones and automobiles
• Particle accelerator magnets
• Magnetic field measurement equipment
• Low-cost alternative to Hall probe

 

Advantages:

• Low cost
• High Q factor
• High sensitivity and good selectivity for magnetic field direction
