β¦ Synopsis
SQUID gradiometers are attractive for magnetic field measurements in noisy environments. A first-order planar gradiometer has been designed and fabricated. The layout of the planar gradiometer used to have two symmetric pickup coils; however, our design adopted one compensation loop with the same size as the SQUID loop at the symmetric position to reduce the imbalance caused by the SQUID. The gradient field resolution is up to 2.2 pT cm Γ1 Hz Γ1/2 (white noise) and 30 pT cm Γ1 Hz Γ1/2 at 1 Hz.

A first order electronic gradiometer has been developed to operate in liquid nitrogen. The use of two-hole bulk Yga2Cu30 7 RF SQUIDs permitted optimization of the characteristic SQUID parameter, #L = 1, without compromising the noise performance. Additional bulk flux concentrators made it possible t
