“…There is a variety of sensors available in the category, such as Hall sensors, fluxgates or micro-fluxgates, anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), giant magnetoresistance (GMR), tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR), and giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) sensors. Of these devices, due to the micro-level dimension, excellent sensitivity, and CMOS compatibility, GMR sensors have attracted more consideration and interest for conventional applications such as detection of weak magnetic fields, angular velocity and acceleration, and inertia navigation and positioning; also for recently emerging applications like ultra-low pressure measurement [1], biological magnetic signals for gene expression analysis [2] and influenza virus detection [3], some novel technologies in water pollution detection [4] and wireless charging for electric vehicles (EVs) [5], and even current monitoring [6] for smart power grids, etc.…”
