Abstract

A micro-electro-mechanical system magnetic field sensor and a measuring method relates to a magnetic field sensor and a measuring method, which have low energy consumption, simple structure, quick response and high reliability. The sensor is composed of an anchor area (1), induced metal wires (2), an E-type cantilever beam (3) and a substrate (4); wherein, the E-type cantilever beam is actuated by the static or driven by the Lorentz force, and is forced to generate the vibration; the cantilever beam generates the resonance under the action of a certain frequency; the induced metal wires (2) which are plated on the E-type cantilever beam (3) can move along with the vibration of the E-type cantilever beam (3). The induced metal wires (2) make the movement of cutting the magnetic lines of force in the magnetic field; thus induced voltage can be induced in the metal wires; the induced voltage in the induced metal wires (3) are measured to achieve the purpose of measuring the magnetic field.
