Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental magnetic field compensation technology for quantum sensors, and in particular to a current source control method and related apparatus for quantum sensors. Background Technology
[0002] Quantum sensors have advantages such as high precision and small size. They are mainly used for measuring the Earth's magnetic field, measuring weak magnetic fields in organisms such as brain magnetoencephalography and heart magnetoencephalography, as well as detecting underwater, surface and airborne targets. They are of great significance in national economic development and national defense.
[0003] Environmental magnetic field compensation is a key technical aspect for quantum sensors to achieve high-sensitivity detection and stable operation. Because quantum sensors are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields, the Earth's magnetic field and various artificial interference magnetic fields (such as those from power lines, vehicles, and electronic devices) can far exceed the signal being measured, leading to sensor saturation or a significant drop in the signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, effective environmental magnetic field compensation is essential to enable them to operate in a near-zero magnetic field environment.
[0004] Active magnetic compensation, which uses feedback control coils to cancel out the ambient magnetic field in real time, is currently the most mainstream method for compensating for ambient magnetic fields. Its basic working process is as follows: ① A triaxial magnetic sensor is used to monitor the ambient magnetic field in real time; a low-precision magnetometer or an auxiliary atomic magnetometer can be used. ② The controller adjusts the coil current according to the sensor input. ③ Three sets of compensation coils generate reverse magnetic fields to cancel out the background field. This solution can dynamically track changes in the magnetic field and is suitable for mobile or semi-open environments. Its cost is lower than that of a fully shielded room, but it has extremely stringent requirements for a high-precision, low-noise, and wide-bandwidth current source.
[0005] Current sources in existing technologies are mostly implemented using operational amplifiers in conjunction with transistors or current mirror structures. Although the structure is simple, it suffers from many problems such as large temperature drift, low accuracy, poor long-term stability, susceptibility to aging and noise, low bandwidth, lack of digital programmability, and inconvenient adjustment, making it difficult to meet the application requirements of quantum sensors. Summary of the Invention
