Abstract
Barkhausen noise is one of the limiting factors for the sensitivity of fluxgate magnetometers. In order to set up calculations about Barkhausen noise, the theory of Bittel and Storm [1] had to be modified. As a result an equation for the signal-to-noise ratio is given, which gives criteria to increase the sensitivity of fluxgate magnetometers.
