Employing amplitude-modulation technique, we have optimized the giant magnetoimpedance (GMT) sensor. Our approach was to optimize the sensor structure so as to obtain a high signal-to-noise ratio by using finite element analysis. The optimum size of sensor strip is as follows: a thickness of 4.3 mu m, a strip width of 20-30 mu m, a length of several mm. The meander sensor element [CoNbZr (thickness, 4.3 mu m; length, 5 mm; width, 30 mu m; number of turns, 3) was fabricated using the lift-off process. A high impedance change over 200% was obtained at several hundred MHz. When a small AC magnetic field was applied to the sensor element, a very small AM signal was detected by the sensor system in a magnetically shielded room. A resolution of 1.7 x 10(-8) Oe/Hz(1/2) was obtained at 501 kHz. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
