Data Acquisition and Processing of Weak Low-Frequency Magnetic Signals

A simple calibration system for magnetic field sensors was designed, and experiments were carried out to calibrate two-dimensional fluxgate sensors and a sensor ring composed of eight fluxgate sensors. Fast Fourier Transforms and trapezoidal numerical integrals were applied to deal with the raw signals. It is found that it is not suitable to apply fast Fourier Transforms only to deal with signals with several peaks close to each other, but trapezoidal numerical integrals should also be used in combination with the FFT method.
