The design principle of the magnetic flux concentrators (MFCs) is studied by finite element method (FEM) and experiment. Firstly, the establishment process of the FEM model in Comsol Multiphysics is elaborated. Based on the simulation model, the magnetic amplification distributions of different shaped MFCs is compared, and the shape design principle of the MFC is obtained. Then, the influence of size parameters on the magnetic amplification of T, triangle, and trapezoid shaped MFCs is analyzed, and the size design principle of the MFCs is obtained. Additionally, the linear working range of the three MFCs is compared. To verify the simulation results, the MFCs are prepared using 1j79 permalloy. The experimental platform is established to acquire the magnetic gain under different magnetic fields. Based on the results, the linear working range of the MFCs is analyzed. And the influence of size parameters on the magnetic gain is tested. The experimental results are compared with the simulation ones to verify the validity of the model.
