Abstract

The application of SQUIDS and superconducting radiometers in clinical biomagnetic instrumentation for fetal magnetocardiography is presented. The paper focuses on the characteristics and performance of the third order flux transformer for fetal magnetocardiography with a good signal to noise ratio. An optimum figure of merit of the third order flux transformer was determined. The optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was used as the optimization criterion.
