Abstract

An MR element having a magnetically free layer and a magnetic bias layer that applies a bias magnetic field to the magnetically free layer are included. Furthermore, a measuring section that measures a ferromagnetic resonance frequency f0 of the magnetically free layer under a condition of applying a predetermined external magnetic field Hm to the magnetically free layer, and an operation section that computes the bias magnetic field Hb according to a following conditional expression (1):Hb={(2*π*f0/γ)2/Ms}−(Hk+Hm)  (1)where γ is a gyroscope constant, Ms is a saturation magnetic field of the magnetically free layer, and Hk is a shape anisotropy magnetic field of the magnetically free layer.
