Publicación Acceso Abierto Gamma Irradiation of Magnetoresistive Sensors for Planetary Exploration(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2012-04-02) Sanz, R.; Fernández, A. B.; Domínguez, J. A.; Martín Vodopivec, B.; Díaz Michelena, M.A limited number of Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR) commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) magnetic sensors of the HMC series by Honeywell, with and without integrated front-end electronics, were irradiated with gamma rays up to a total irradiation dose of 200 krad (Si), following the ESCC Basic Specification No. 22900. Due to the magnetic cleanliness required for these tests a special set-up was designed and successfully employed. Several parameters of the sensors were monitored during testing and the results are reported in this paper. The authors conclude that AMR sensors without front-end electronics seem to be robust against radiation doses of up to 200 krad (Si) with a dose rate of 5 krad (Si)/hour and up to a resolution of tens of nT, but sensors with an integrated front-end seem to be more vulnerable to radiation.
