A magnetometer with a sensitivity of the order of 1.5 nT, which enables the dimensions and direction of the Earth’s magnetic field induction vector, or the magnetic field produced by iron-containing objects to be determined, is described. Similar devices can be used in mobile and on-board apparatus for searching for magnetic anomalies behind opaque barriers, for Earth’s magnetic field navigation, seismic sensors, etc.
