Abstract

Methods and configurations are disclosed for providing band-pass magnetic filtering of signals in magnetic communications and anomaly detection using diamond nitrogen-vacancy (DNV).

Claims (23)

1. A diamond nitrogen-vacancy (DNV) sensor comprising:

a diamond having one or more nitrogen vacancies;

a loop of conductive material positioned adjacent to a portion of the diamond; and

a resistor coupled to a first end of the loop and a second end of the loop, the loop and resistor forming a low pass filter for the DNV sensor.

2. The DNV sensor of claim 1 , wherein the loop comprises a plurality of loops.

3. The DNV sensor of claim 1 , wherein the resistor is a variable resistor.

4. The DNV sensor of claim 1 , wherein the resistor is a potentiometer.

5. The DNV sensor of claim 4 , wherein a modification to the potentiometer selectively attenuates a set of high frequency magnetic signals.

6. A system comprising:

a vacancy sensor including:

a vacancy material having a vacancy,

a loop of conductive material positioned adjacent to a portion of the vacancy material, and

a variable resistor coupled to a first end of the loop and a second end of the loop, the loop and variable resistor forming a low pass filter for the vacancy sensor; and

a controller configured to modify the variable resistor.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the controller modifies the variable resistor to selectively attenuate the low pass filter.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the controller modifies the variable resistor to selectively attenuate the low pass filter based on an orientation of a detected magnetic signal.

9. A system comprising:

a vacancy sensor including:

a vacancy material having a vacancy,

a loop of conductive material positioned adjacent to a portion of the vacancy material, and

a variable resistor coupled to a first end of the loop and a second end of the loop, the loop and variable resistor forming a low pass filter for the vacancy sensor; and

a controller configured to modify an orientation of the vacancy sensor.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the controller modifies the orientation of the vacancy sensor, wherein the vacancy sensor is a diamond nitrogen vacancy sensor, based on an orientation of a detected magnetic signal.
