Abstract :
Several Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Anisotropic MagnetoResistive (AMR) magnetic sensors of the HMC series by Honeywell, with and without integrated front end electronics, have been irradiated with gamma rays up to a total dose of 200 krads following ESCC Basic Specification No. 22900, with limited number of tested sensors.
