This study investigates an IPS-type Metglas/PMN-PT laminated magnetoelectric composite and its feasibility as a reciprocal mechanical magnetoelectric antenna for low-frequency transmission and reception. Finite-element simulations under quasi-static and frequency-domain conditions reveal strong magnetoelectric coupling under an optimal DC bias field, with both the direct magnetoelectric effect (DME) and converse magnetoelectric effect (CME) exhibiting pronounced resonance near 14.5 kHz, governed by the same longitudinal extensional vibration mode. Five IPS samples were fabricated and experimentally characterized. All devices showed resonant frequencies within 14.1-14.5 kHz, peak DME coefficients of 3.0 × 106 to 3.9 × 106 pC/Oe, and peak CME coefficients of 12.0~15.8 Oe·cm/V, confirming good fabrication consistency, transmit-receive reciprocity, and array-integration potential. The parallel IPS antenna generated a magnetic flux density of 37 nT at 1 m, and exhibited an equivalent magnetic noise of 63 fT/Hz1/2 at 14.45 kHz. These results demonstrate that the proposed IPS structure combines high-sensitivity reception with efficient low-frequency transmission, showing strong potential for miniaturized, low-power, and long-range magnetic communication and underwater communication applications.

If, however, the bob is a slotted metal plate, the magnet produces a much smaller effect. When a slotted metal plate enters the field, an emf is induced by the change in flux; however, it is less effective because the slots limit the...
