Abstract(in English) We have designed and tested an HTS SQUID magnetometer using resonant coupling of copper pickup coil cooled at T=77 K. The pickup coil was made of a Litz wire, so as to prevent the increase of the coil resistance at high frequencies. First, we measured the coil characteristics from dc to 100 kHz when the diameter d_f of the elementary filament of the Litz wire was changed between 0.04 and 0.2 mm. We showed that the coil characteristics at high frequencies can be improved by using a small diameter d_f. Next, we constructed a magnetometer using a pickup coil with average diameter D=45 mm and number of turns N=150. The measure magnetic field noise of the magnetometer was 3.3 fT/Hz^<1/2> at the resonant frequency of f=10.15 kHz. The Q value of the resonant circuit was Q=153. The experimental results agreed reasonably well with the designed value. The obtained high sensitivity of the magnetometer will be useful for the application to low field NMR.
