Simplified circuit drives heading indicator and senses magnetic field of Earth. Simple flux-gate magnetometer supplies digital readout of magnetic heading of vehicle, developed to drive heading indicator, or supply heading information to autopilot or to other navigational instruments. Important feature is core driven into saturation in one direction only by alternating drive voltage, which swings from zero to one polarity and back. Made in part of commercially available integrated circuits.
