Magnetospheric phenomenon brings into play low frequency waves whose study requires to measure both AC and DC magnetic field.So far, such measure involves embedding two different instruments dedicated to both the DC and to the AC part of the field. The DC component is usually measured using a fluxgate magnetometer whereas the AC component is measured using a Searchcoil magnetometer.Despite the high sensitivity of these instruments in their respective working range, the need to get two instruments presents several drawbacks, mainly in terms of weight and power consumption. A unique instrument allowing the measure of both AC and DC field would be a real improvement. We present a new concept of AC/DC hybrid magnetometer for onboard space experiments. Matching an anisotropic magnetoresistor and a classical Searchcoil magnetometer, one can achieve an instrument able to cover a broadband working range. With an appropriate conditioning electronics, such instrument could measure weak magnetic field from DC to a hundred of Hertz with a very high sensitivity.
