  • Systems and methods for RF magnetic-field vector detection based on spin rectification effects
    Patent number: 7986140
    Abstract: Systems and methods for RF magnetic-field vector detection based on spin rectification effects are described. In one embodiment, a method comprises sweeping a quasi-static external applied magnetic field at a h-vector detector, measuring voltages across terminals of the h-vector detector when the detector receives a microwave, varying the angle between the external applied static magnetic field and the RF current, determining an angular dependence of the measured voltages, and calculating a magnetic-field vector (h-vector) component of the microwave.
