Abstract
The feasibility of a flux-gate sensor for the ITER NBI has been studied by developing a numerical model which includes magnetic core hysteresis, and which demonstrated that, by suitable choice of the core magnetic properties and geometry, it is possible to increase the measurement range by at least 2 orders of magnitude. On this basis, a flux-gate sensor prototype has been realized at Consorzio RFX. Experimental tests carried out so far have demonstrated that the measurement range can be increased to â¼10Â mT with acceptable accuracy and frequency bandwidth.
