The coupling coefficient between the flux transformer and the planar gradiometer is 0.18. The transformer increases effectively the resolution of the gradiometer. A magnetic field gradient resolution of 73 fT.cm?1Hz?1/2 in the white region and 596 fT.cm?1Hz?1/2 at 1 Hz has been obtained. High quality magnetocardiogram signals have been successfully measured by using this flip-chip-type gradiometer in an unshielded environment.展开更多

The adaptive filter in the time domain is based on a noise feedback normalized least-mean-square （NLMS） algorithm, and the low-pass filter with a cutoff at 100Hz in the frequeucy domain characterized by Caussian functions is combined with a notch at the power line frequency. In this way, both relevant and irrelevant noises in original MCG data are largely eliminated. The method may also be useful for other slowly varying quasi-periodical signals.展开更多
