Embodiment
It is new below in conjunction with this practicality to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantage of the utility model embodiment clearer Accompanying drawing in type embodiment, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model is clearly and completely described, it is clear that is retouched The embodiment stated is the utility model part of the embodiment, rather than whole embodiments.Based on the implementation in the utility model Example, all other embodiment that those of ordinary skill in the art are obtained under the premise of creative work is not made, is belonged to The scope of the utility model protection.
Fig. 1 is the frequency of modulated signal and the relation schematic diagram of sensor noise;Specifically, at position 1, low frequency signal With bigger noise, in this case, direct current signal has very low resolution ratio;At position 2, if direct current signal is with one Fixed frequency shift (FS) will be a kind of ideal state to white noise scope.
Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram of the modulation technique of standard, ideally, can eliminate and come from noise amplifier, mixing The noise of device and low pass filter, this modulator needs first to modulate low noise circuit element, inclined by applying alternating voltage Put or AC magnetic field signal carrys out modulation sensor to sensor, this can be as by desired obtained signal making an uproar from sensor The method separated in sound, but this method can not realize the removal of sensor noise.
Wherein, resistance noise refers to the resistor random-access in a device and random fluctuation.In this application, define For Rnoise(ω), when an electric current flows through a device, resistance noise will occur in the form of voltage noise.Further, Voltage noise refers to that the voltage in a device is random and random fluctuation, is herein defined as Vnoise(ω)。
For a device, it is more likely that only voltage noise is without the electric current flowed through, and therefore, a device can have For balanced voltage without resistance noise, Johnson noise is exactly an example;It is also possible to the electricity independently of bias current Noise is pressed, Johnson noise is also an example.
Fig. 3 is Johnson noise and 1/f noise with frequency change schematic diagram.The amplitude of Johnson noise is not with biasing Electric current changes and changed, and 1/f voltage noises change with bias current.
Johnson's spectral noise density isIt is worth noting that, this is voltage noise, it with it is attached Frequency in figure is unrelated, wherein, the resistance R of sensor is 5K ohms, corresponding to 10nV/rtHz.
Described 1/f noise is very big in low frequency, and the amplitude of 1/f noise is determined that Johnson makes an uproar by bias voltage Sound is independent therewith;Wherein, 1/f noise occurs in the form of resistance fluctuation, the possible mechanism of action of many of which;But It is for Sensor Design, it is that resistance fluctuation determines it is how to be suppressed, and specific mechanism of action is unimportant.
Analysis is given below, it was demonstrated that sensor bias modulation is inoperative:It is assumed that the output of sensor be signal with The combination of noise:
Wherein, H represents the magnetic field of measurement, and S represents sensitivity, Vnoise(ω) represents random sensor noise, α1Represent Signal nonlinear factor, i are >=1 positive number,
Under a limit, Vout(ω)≈H(ω)S+Vnoise(ω);
It is contemplated that modulation sensor is biased to change sensitivity,
Then, Vout(ω)≈H(ω)S(Ibiasc))+Vnoise(ω,Ibiasc))
However, 1/f noise occurs in the form of resistance noise, the amplitude of resistance noise depends on flows through sensor element Bias current:
Vout(ω)≈H(ω)S(Ibiasc))+Rnoise(ω)Ibiasc)+....
Therefore, when with ωcWhen carrying out modulation sensor, it can obtain:
Vout(ω-ωc)-Vout(ω+ωc)≈H(ω){S(Ibias(0))-S(Ibias(2ωc))}+Rnoise(ω){Ibias (0)-Ibias(2ωc)+... is then with ωcBy low pass filter, we do not see the reduction of 1/f noise,
Vout(ω-ωc)≈H(ω)S(Ibias(0))+Rnoise(ω)Ibias(0)+....
Vout(ω-ωc)≈H(ω)S+Vnoise(ω)+....
Accordingly, it can be seen that modulation sensor biasing can not reduce 1/f noise, such sensor can produce resistance and make an uproar Sound.
It is modulated below by the way of premodulated, it is assumed that sensor output is the non-linear combination of the noise of signal, The sensor is to use direct current biasing,
Wherein, H represents the magnetic field of measurement, and S represents sensitivity, Vnoise(ω) represents random sensor noise, α1Represent Signal nonlinear factor, i are >=1 positive number,
The noise that can be measured under the limit and magnetic field be mutually it is independent,
Vout(ω)≈H(ω)S+Vnoise(ω)
Assuming that before sensor detects magnetic field, in ωcMagnetic field input is modulated, can so be obtained
Vout(ω)≈H(ω+ωc)S+Vnoise(ω),
Pass through ωcCarry out to VoutIt is mixed, can be obtained:
Vout(ω-ωc)-Vout(ω+ωc)≈{-H(2ωc)+H(ω)}S-Vnoise(ω+ωc)+Vnoise(ω-ωc) + ... eventually through low pass filter, can obtain:
Vout(ω-ωc)≈H(ω)S+Vnoise(ω-ωc)+...
So noise goes to negative frequency relative to detectable signal.
Fig. 4 is the skew schematic diagram of signal modulation and noise, and the spectrum offset of modulation is with frequencies omegacLow frequency is moved on to, is made Into the reduction of low frequency noise.If using high modulation magnetic field, the non-linear side that sensor noise can be caused to be mixed into modulation On frequency band, this will reduce the quantity of noise reduction.
In order to which any modulated structure can work, modulators modulate signal to be measured and not necessarily have to modulation sensor 1/f noise, still can realize the frequency shift (FS) between signal and noise, reduce the 1/f noise of system output.

Because metal level than FM1 layer and FM2 layers has higher electric conductivity, so, the current collection in modulator rod exists The intermediate layer of modulator rod;When electric current is very big, FM1 layers and FM2 layers reduce modulator and sensed parallel to sensor element Magnetic conductivity on direction.Wherein, high magnetic conductivity means the magnetic flux content height concentrated on sensor string, on the contrary, low Magnetic conductivity means that the magnetic flux content of the concentration on sensor string is low.Therefore, modulator, outside magnetic are passed through by alternating current Field can be modulated by the change of magnetic conductivity.
The FM1 layers and FM2 layers of modulator need identical remanent magnetism thickness product (Mrt), and so they can be between modulator Mutually compensated for, however, because the bottom FM2 layers of modulator rod are close to magneto-resistor sensing element, therefore, the FM1 of top layer The remanent magnetism thickness product of layer is higher than the FM2 layers of bottom.Also, it is electrically connected to each other between modulator stick end, modulates electric current Modulator rod can be flowed through in a manner of snakelike, can be made up due to FM1 and FM2 not in whole magneto-resistor sensing element region Matching and caused by it is uneven.
