Role within the Collaborative Research Centre
The project B2 is first of all strongly linked with the analogue signal processing project B1 and the sensor producing projects (e.g. A4 ), since a digitally controlled analogue cancellation approach and specifically tailored readout scheme for ΔE-effect and other sensor principles are the main focus of the project. However, aside from these collaborations, strong interaction is planned with several other projects. The following table shows details about the planned cooperation of the project B2 within the CRC 1261:
A2 , A3 , A4 , A7 :Setup of specifically tailored readout schemes for the sensor principles investigated in these projects.
B1 :This project will cooperate very closely with B1 in terms of improving the ME sensor front-ends.
B6 :Cooperation in the design and implementation of the real-time framework for medical applications.
B3 , B5 , B6 , B7 : Utilization of the real-time framework for measurement purposes; feedback about possible improvements.
Z1 ,Z2 :Passing the real-time system to this project for enhanced measurements.

The objective of project B2 is the improvement of magnetoelectric (ME) sensor systems by means of digital signal processing: A parallel readout of a single sensor combined with an adaptive signal combination, that enhances the signal-to-noise ratio, is possible. For optimal usage of the dynamical range of the analogue-to-digital converters a digitally controlled analog signal cancellation is investigated. Cancellation schemes that are using external noise reference sensors is researched for further improvements. Finally, to use the ME sensor systems in unshielded environments, so-called anti-field approaches are investigated.
