多通道心磁系统标定方法研究

在多通道超导量子干涉器件（SQUID）磁探测系统中,磁场电压转换系数（∂ B/∂ V）是系统的一个重要参数由于SQUID器件和读出电路之间不可避免地存在差异性因此对传感器系统进行系统标定（每个通道的单独标定）显得十分重要本文采用（PCB） 板印制圆形线圈对36通道心磁系统进行标定,并与传统的亥姆霍兹方形线圈产生均匀场的标定方法进行比较结果显示PCB圆形线圈的标定结果 在1.46–1.73 pT·mV^-1 之间,亥姆霍兹方形线圈标定的结果大都在1.56–1.64 pT·mV^-1之间,结果基本一致. 关键词： 超导量子干涉器件 磁探测 磁场-电压转换系数 系统标定     

Baseline optimization of SQUID gradiometer for magnetocardiography

SQUID gradiometer techniques are widely used in noise cancellation for biomagnetic measurements.An appropriate gradiometer baseline is very important for the biomagnetic detection with high performance.By placing several magnetometers at different heights along the vertical direction,we could simultaneously obtain the synthetic gradiometers with different baselines.By using the traditional signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) as a performance index,we successfully obtain an optimal baseline for the magnetocardiography(MCG) measurement in a magnetically shielded room(MSR).Finally,we obtain an optimal baseline of 7 cm and use it for the practical MCG measurement in our MSR.The SNR about 38 dB is obtained in the recorded MCG signal.

An efficient calibration method for SQUID measurement system using three orthogonal Helmholtz coils

For a practical superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID) based measurement system,the Tesla/volt coefficient must be accurately calibrated.In this paper,we propose a highly efficient method of calibrating a SQUID magnetometer system using three orthogonal Helmholtz coils.The Tesla/volt coefficient is regarded as the magnitude of a vector pointing to the normal direction of the pickup coil.By applying magnetic fields through a three-dimensional Helmholtz coil,the Tesla/volt coefficient can be directly calculated from magnetometer responses to the three orthogonally applied magnetic fields.Calibration with alternating current(AC) field is normally used for better signal-to-noise ratio in noisy urban environments and the results are compared with the direct current(DC) calibration to avoid possible effects due to eddy current.In our experiment,a calibration relative error of about 6.89 × 10-4is obtained,and the error is mainly caused by the non-orthogonality of three axes of the Helmholtz coils.The method does not need precise alignment of the magnetometer inside the Helmholtz coil.It can be used for the multichannel magnetometer system calibration effectively and accurately.
