A Novel Magnetic Linear Encoder Designed by Using the Slant Multi-Phase Filtering Model

A novel design model based on the slant multi-phase filtering model is presented. A magnetic linear encoder with sinusoidal output voltage waveform has been investigated, and the improved sinusoidal output waveform can be easily acquired. A minimum 6% of distortion factor, when the difference of slant phase is 2π/3, is observed. It is found that the Wheatstone bridge type sensor, made of NiFe(450A)/NiO(300A) bilayers deposited on Si (001) substrate, can enhance both output signal and thermal stability, and then can be widely used in the field of magneto-resistive sensor.
