The intermediated strain can convert a magnetic field to an electric output signal in a magnetostrictive-piezoelectric layered composite via three parameters: the magnetoelastic coupling, the piezoelastic coupling and the mechanical impedance. These three parameters are dominated respectively by the magnetostrictive coefficient, the piezoelectric coefficient and the mean flexibility of material in the composite. Focusing on these three parameters, many investigations on the ME enhancement have been carried out by choosing the correct material or by adjusting the ratio between the two phases in the composite [4]. Thereafter, the noise performance of ME laminates has been studied for applications as a magnetic sensor. In the last several years, the intrinsic noise sources for both the composite and the amplifier circuit have been mathematically modeled and experimentally characterized. The passively sensed signal can be amplified by either a voltage or a charge method. Furthermore, the noise contributions from the detection electronics were also integrated in the noise performance analysis [5]. According to these studies, dielectric dissipation in the piezoelectric phase is the main contribution to the noise floor for low-frequency magnetic field sensing even though the equivalent current noise source from the electronics induce fluctuations in the output signal of the low-frequency charge detection as well [6].
