description | Accurate calibration is key for any reliable sensor system. Magnetoelectric (ME) sensors, in particular, are influenced in their operating point by external parameters such as the Earth’s magnetic field or the ambient temperature. In this paper, we introduce a new planar coil design for the generation of a magnetic test field within the plane of the ME sensor. Furthermore, we implemented a method for measuring the sensor behaviour using a short-term magnetic noise signal. The combination of the printed circuit board (PCB) coil and the accelerated sensor characterization method allows the sensor system to be calibrated at the measurement site (in situ) without the need for laboratory equipment. We can show that the presented method for calibration achieves high-quality results in 10 seconds for a sensor affected by external interference fields. |
