Abstract
A pulse signal generator comprises a detecting assembly including a magnetic element wire (5) and a coil (2) wound around a bobbin (6) to generate electric pulses and a waveform shaping circuit integrated with the detecting assembly so as to shape the waveform of the electric pulses to output a pulse signal.
Claims5
A pulse signal generator comprising:
- a detection assembly for detecting a movement of an object to be detected;
- and
- a waveform shaping circuit having two threshold values, said detecting assembly including:
- a magnetic element wire capable of producing a large Barkhausen jump in response to said movement of said object,
- a wire bobbin surrounding said magnetic wire,
- a coil wound around said wire bobbin and generating a series of electric pulses, and
- a pair of output terminals connected to both ends of said coil, wherein said magnetic element wire, said coil, and said output terminals are integrated with said wire bobbin as a unit, and said waveform shaping circuit shaping a waveform of said electric pulses to output a pulse signal and being integrated with said detecting assembly.
