Design of High Gain and High Sensitivity Extremely-Low Frequency Magnetic Signal Receiving System

The low attenuation rate of extremely low frequency (ELF) (30 similar to 300Hz) makes it of wide interest in submarine communication and long-distance cross-domain communication. In this paper, a high gain and high sensitivity magnetic signal receiving system is developed based on a new ELF mechanical antenna with a typical frequency point of 75 Hz. The system includes a magnetic sensing receiving antenna, an impedance conversion transformer, an amplifier, and a filter. Each module describes in detail the design and associated tradeoffs that allow this receiving system to be applied to any magnetically inductive antenna of the same impedance. In this paper, a receiving system is developed using a 2.85 Omega-48.2mH impedance antenna as an example. The receiver system has a gain of 58.6 dB at an operating frequency of 75 Hz, a receiver sensitivity of 1.5pT/Hz(1/2), an operating bandwidth of 10 Hz, and a rejection of 16.7 dB at an operating frequency of 50 Hz.
