Electromagnetic coils are ubiquitously used in the modern world in motors, antennas, etc. In numerous applications, like nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging (known as MRI), there is a strong need for a homogeneous magnetic field. In this paper, we take advantage of an analytic method to propose a new design of MRI coils with enhanced sensitivity and homogeneity.

Electromagnetic coils are ubiquitously used in the modern world in motors, electronic components, inductive sensors, etc. In many applications (magnetic sensor calibration and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI)) there is a strong need for a homogeneous magnetic field. We propose a simple analytic modelling allowing determination of the electrical conductor distribution to make it homogeneous. The method brings the perspective of new homogeneous magnetic calibration and NMRI coils.

Short summary
A simple physically motivated model for measurements obtained by nondestructive testing and evaluation using eddy-current methods is created by using equivalent circuit networks that include all relevant effects. The transfer function of a network is derived and its physical meaning discussed. For use in process control, a sensor system with low-latency parameter identification is integrated into a forming process, and its abilities to monitor microstructure changes are demonstrated.

Because most commercialized current sensors can only measure current flow when a signal line is inserted into a clamp-shaped probe, it is impossible to measure the current waveform of a high-end PCB with a sub-millimeter fine pitch. We developed a pin-type current probe with high sensitivity, targeting the analysis of high-end PCBs. The probe can measure the current waveform by simply contacting the measurement point. This paper reports on the current sensor development.

The paper describes a novel energy-harvesting system based on the Wiegand effect. The energy provided by this harvester is analysed and correlated to the required energy to start a microcontroller and perform some wireless data transfer. The energy consumption is analysed in detail down to component level. A demonstrator including an additional sensor and wireless transmitter was built, proving that sufficient energy is provided by the harvester for the wireless transfer of the sensor data.

We describe the development and characterization of a three-dimensional (3D) magnetic coil system that is able to produce magnetic flux densities of up to 2 mT in an arbitrary field direction. The coil system can be used to calibrate 3D magnetometers efficiently, and the measurements are traceable to national SI units.

Traceably calibrated scanning Hall microscopy (SHM) is a versatile tool for the quantitative characterization of magnetic microstructures. To enable SHM with a resolution in the micrometer range under ambient conditions, two Hall sensor materials, gold and graphene, were investigated. A SHM setup utilizing a 5 μm gold Hall sensor was calibrated. The field sensitivity and the detailed uncertainty budget are discussed. The presented traceable calibration is validated by comparison to simulations.

The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project at CERN will require new superconducting magnets with strict requirements in terms of field quality. A new measurement system based on rotating coils has been developed to characterize them with high accuracy. The system measures the required quantities in a single run, which greatly reduces the necessary time and resources. Thanks to its versatility, it can be adapted to a variety of magnet sizes without major effort.

This paper addresses the development and characterization of a non-intrusive silicon-based microsensor, which can detect electric partial discharges in electrical insulation equipment. Early partial discharge detection prevents failures and can be used to optimize maintenance operations. The main advantage of the proposed CMOS-based design resides in its monolithic integration added to the high autonomy, which improves the microsensor efficiency.

Lorentz force eddy current testing (LET) is a motion-induced eddy current testing method in the framework of nondestructive testing. In this study, we address the question of how this method is classified in comparison with a commercial eddy current testing (ECT) device. Therefore, measurements using both methods are performed and evaluated. Based on the measurement results, the corresponding defect detection limits are determined and discussed.

The article shows that indoor navigation can be resolved on the basis of improved magnetic tracking. A theory of indoor navigation based on magnetic positioning is proposed. The functioning of the local system was confirmed experimentally. The author is goes on to continue this work as a full-scale experiment to validate the proposed technique. The work is part of the doctoral thesis of the author. All work is executed by the author on his own initiative alone, at his own expense.

Short summary
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for biological investigations. Nevertheless, the imaging resolution performance results in the combination of the static magnetic field strength and the radio-frequency coil efficiency. In the context of spinal cord lesion studies, a ribbon solenoid coil is used to enhance the imaging quality of the MRI experiment on a tissue allowing one to perform high-resolution imaging with potential benefits for biological studies.
