Biasing is provided of the magnetic core so as to provide operation in the non-linear parts of the core's hysteresis cycle. A first coil on the ferromagnetic core has an AC excitation signal applied thereto and a second coil on the core is wound orthogonally to the first coil and is adapted to have an output signal derived therefrom. A control or input current in a third coil is used to unbalance the magnetic bridge formed by the four legs, so as to produce a mutual inductance different from zero between the first and second coil. The biasing may be provided by a fourth coil or by permanent magnet means.Other References
