Abstract
An electronic compass comprises a saturable core sensor (2) with a core (3) made of ferromagnetic material surrounded by an electric winding (3′), a first couple of electric windings (4, 5) around the sensor (2) having reciprocally orthogonal turns, a second couple of electric windings (8, 9) around said first couple (4, 5) having reciprocally orthogonal turns. The gap between the winding (3′) and the first couple of windings (4, 5) and between the first couple of windings (4, 5) and the second couple of windings (8, 9) is filled with a material having a low thermal expansion coefficient, preferably epoxy fiberglass reinforced plastic, supporting the windings of said first (4, 5) and second (8, 9) couple of windings. It is also provided an electronic control circuit (20, 21, 22).
