An AMR based vector magnetometer was developed for the Separated Payload program to explore thefield-aligned currents in Earth polar region. It has the advantages of low volume and CubeSat platformcompatible mass while still maintains adequate resolution. In order to determine the resolution limit ofAMR based magnetometer, we measured the sensor’s intrinsic noise. This characteristic was in conflictwith our prototype magnetoresistive magnetometer since phase sensitive detection(PSD) could onlyreject noise from interfacing circuit without affecting the signal to be measured. We believe that besidesflipping the magnetization direction periodically, the set/reset technique also functions as a modulationto the magnetic field. The sensor operates at the modulation frequency and its noise level is much lowerthan that at low frequency. This technique is analyzed theoretically and a description from frequencyperspective is given. By modulating the signal beyond corner frequency of the sensor and amplifier, boththe sensor and interfacing circuit work in white noise region. Then we calculate the theoretical resolutionlimit of HMC1001 based magnetometer and the result shows that the noise floor is 24.9 pT/Hz0.5@1 Hzunder 5 V bias with proper-matched amplifier.
