Abstract

In this chapter, the fundamental aspects of giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) and related phenomena are discussed. Prior to defining the GMI, the concepts of eddy current and the skin effect associated with GMI are comprehensively introduced. The existing models developed on the frequency dependence of GMI have been systematically examined in order to check the validity of each model in relation to the operating frequency range. It is concluded that the development of theoretical models that can rigorously predict the GMI effect in a wide frequency range from kHz to GHz is a challenging task.
