Magneto resistor based lightning storm detector
Magneto resistor based lightning storm detector
(OP)
Im doing a research on usage of Magneto resistors for identifying lightning stormy condition in the near surrounding of a aircraft by measuring electromagnetic flux in there. Iam going to develop prototype model for this one. Can somebody give some tips regarding the effectiveness of such a system?





RE: Magneto resistor based lightning storm detector
You should estimate the relative sensitivity of your proposed technique. I suspect that they'd hear the bang before your resistor would provide a useful signal. But it's up to you to do the sums. Good luck.

They're NOT really radar. Simply LF receivers.

Is there any particular reason why you chose to use an MR/GMR?

Half full - Half empty? I don't mind. It's what in it that counts.

If the typical compass magnetometer isn't sufficiently low in noise, then something like http://magnetometer.com/wp-content/uploads/TFM65-V... might be more apropos.

Also, the vector of the field as detected by a predominantly one-dimensional linear device would be a trig function of aircraft orientation. Thus, aircraft manoeuvrings would cause another signal. Time domain processing might reveal the sharp transitions of nearby lightning strikes.
