Abstract :
This paper reports significant improvements on our previous resonant magnetic field sensor [1]. With a new design implementing three magnetically coupled resonators and a novel fabrication process building on a glass/silicon stack, we reduce the previously dominant parasitic feedthrough capacitance between driving and sensing ports by a factor of 6. This simplifies the measurement circuit and enables new modes of operation in self-resonance.
