The magnetic noise reducing device comprises a SQUID flux meter 1 and a pair of noise canceling coils 2 as minimum components, the feedback current I produced by the SQUID flux meter 1 being supplied to the noise canceling coils 2, the magnetic flux detecting coil of the SQUID flux meter being arranged within a specific central space 4 defined by the noise canceling coils 2 for effective reduction of magnetic noise within that space. | InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 881795 filed on 05/12/1992US Classes:324/248, Superconductive magnetometers505/846Using superconductive quantum interference device (i.e., SQUID): (Class 324/248)Field of Search324/248, Superconductive magnetometers505/845, Magnetometer: (Class 324/248)505/846Using superconductive quantum interference device (i.e., SQUID): (Class 324/248)ExaminersPrimary: Snow, Walter E.Attorney, Agent or FirmUS Patent References4327498, Magnetic compass compensation systemIssued on: 05/04/1982 Inventor: Setter , et al.4663590, Single frequency noise reduction circuit for squids Issued on: 05/05/1987 Inventor: Gershenson , et al.5248941Superconducting magnetic field sensing apparatus having digital output, on-chip quantum flux packet feedback and high bias margins Issued on: 09/28/1993 Inventor: Lee, et al.
