Abstract :
A tilt-sensitive measuring system exploiting a flux-gate sensor is described. The sensing configuration has been investigated using an electromagnetic modelling software first. Then, the prototype characterization has shown a system sensitivity up to 2.3491 V/° and an Integral Non Linearity (INL) down to 1%.
