The MC161 sensor can be used to accurately measure magnetic fields over a very wide frequency range: from 1 kHz to 500 kHz.
3 kHz to 200 kHz the MC161 voltage output vs frequency response is nearly flat: 1mV per milligauss.
200 kHz to 500 kHz the MC161 output changes gradually and smoothly vs frequency.
Above 500 kHz the MC161 response varies too much vs frequency, so MC161 isn't recommended for use above 500 kHz.
NIST traceable calibration data table is tested and delivered with each sensor from 0.5 kHz to 999 kHz.
The sensors are not calibrated above 1 MHz, and may produce an output voltage when receiving some magnetic field frequencies above 1 MHz.
Output voltage from the sensor is same frequency as the magnetic field frequency.
