Vector magnetic sensing

Vector magnetic sensing involves measuring both the strength and direction of magnetic fields, much like mapping a three-dimensional landscape. Unlike scalar sensors that only detect how strong a magnetic field is, vector sensors provide detailed information about the field's orientation in space. This is achieved through advanced materials and technologies that can detect subtle variations in magnetic vectors, enabling precise navigation, attitude control, and scientific analysis. Essentially, vector magnetic sensing offers a comprehensive picture of magnetic environments, improving applications ranging from navigation systems to geological surveys.
