A Dynamic Hysteresis Model for TMR-Current Sensors Based on Probability Estimation of Hysteresis Operator and Its Switching Time

Abstract

Hysteresis is one of the main factors affecting the measurement accuracy of TMR sensors, especially in dynamic measurements. The commonly used Preisach hysteresis compensation model has some problems, such as complex modeling and difficulty in accurately measuring the step time, resulting in low accuracy in dynamic measurements. In this paper, considering the distribution characteristics of the conversion time of the hysteresis operator in dynamic measurements, a dynamic hysteresis model based on the probability estimation of the hysteresis operator and its conversion time is proposed. Compared with the existing methods, this method only needs to calculate the distribution of the sensor hysteresis operator to realize the calculation of hysteresis characteristics without a physical model or fitting algorithm. It has good generalization performance and a corresponding fast speed. In the test of two typical TMR sensors, compared with the transmission Preisach model, the maximum error of this method is reduced by 46.7%, the variance can be reduced by 90.2%, and the average value can be reduced by 65.1%.
