  • Patent number: 11892528
    Abstract: A microwave resonator magnetic field measuring device (1) for measuring alternating magnetic fields, with a base plate (11) having at least one supporting/bearing/clamping point (111), at least one mechanical oscillator (12+13) formed as a microwave resonator in the form of a cantilever (13) having at least one magnetostrictive layer (12), the latter being connected and mounted at at least one point to the base plate (11) in the at least one supporting/bearing/clamping point (111), at least one input coupling means (161) for microwaves and at least one output coupling means (162) for microwaves, wherein the base plate (11) and the mechanical oscillator (12+13) formed as a microwave resonator are at least partly electrically conductive and electrically conductively connected to one another. Also, a magnetic field measuring method having a magnetic field measuring device according to the invention.

  • Publication number: 20220291302
    Abstract: A magnetic field measuring device having a cantilevered, mechanically vibratable, rectangular substrate strip, at least one flat side of the substrate strip being coated with a magnetostrictive material system, further having drive means designed for the temporally periodic exertion of a force component directed perpendicular to the flat sides of the substrate strip on at least one part of a flat side of the substrate strip with a predetermined excitation frequency and having a detection device for detecting an electrical signal generated by the vibration of the substrate strip, wherein a. the substrate strip is formed from a material with a modulus of elasticity greater than 5 GPa and b. the excitation frequency is set up as a function of the dimensions of the substrate strip in such a way that the substrate strip oscillates in mechanical resonance and forms a U-mode, and c.
