MAGNETIC FIELD SENSOR (B)
(Free Field)
MODEL B-100
The PRODYN Model B-100 sensor is a new addition to the line of multigap free-field type B-Dot sensors and fills a much needed frequency measurement capability that up to now could only be measured with a fragile laboratory style sensor. This sensor comes equipped with a weather cover, a holding cradle, and has SMA connectors on the output. These allow for easy mounting and hook-up. The sensor design is similar to other multigap type sensors, such as the PRODYN Model B-60, in that the wiring configuration used causes any electric fields to be effectively cancelled out and the sensor's output signal to occur from only magnetic fields. An emphasis on accuracy and precision in manufacturing results in excellent common mode characteristics. The equation relating to the sensor is:

The sensor is a passive device; thus, an external power source is not required. It's available with an axial output, Model B-100(A), or a radial output, Model B- 100(R).
