Abstrakt: In this work, a very promising shape of magnetic concentrators taking advantage of the symmetrical flux leakage of Mn-Zn ferrite magnetic cores is presented. This configuration consists of two ferromagnetic rods separated by two air gaps allowing to place anisotropic magnetoresistance sensors in the core axis. Results from three-dimensional finite elements modeling are presented. We show that an appropriate shape optimization of core extremities enables to improve significantly the amplification factor without any increase in length. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
