A new method suitable for the single core fluxgate magnetometer has been proposed. The method makes use of the coupling property of odd and even harmonics generated by the self-product of the induced voltage during the magnetization of ferromagnetic material by an external field superposed on the AC driving magnetic field. The power difference between the two half-periods of magnetization was expressed by the coupling of odd and even harmonics, which is proportional to the external field under the condition that He* Q HAC and HAC is constant, where HM and HAC are the external magnetic field'and AC driving tield amplitude respectively.
