Abstract: This disclosure is directed to current sensing techniques for use within a magnetic current sensor. According to one aspect of the disclosure, a current sensing device includes a magnetic core, and a magnetic field sensor positioned substantially within a cavity formed by an air gap interface of the magnetic core and configured to sense a magnetic field induced by an electrical current that is conducted through a conductor passing through a central opening of the magnetic core.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor that includes a magnetic film deposited on a surface acoustic wave device. The surface acoustic wave device includes an input interdigital transducer and an output interdigital transducer. An RF voltage can be applied at the input interdigital transducer in order to generate acoustic waves, which can travel via the magnetic material to the output interdigital transducer. The application of an external magnetic field alters the conductivity of the magnetic material. Such a change in conductivity attenuates the velocity of the traveling surface acoustic wave and an output frequency due to electro acoustic interaction. The change in the applied magnetic field can be indirectly monitored as a change in output frequency of the SAW device at the output interdigital transducer.
