We have demonstrated that the input circuit of a SQUID magnetometer may be resonated at the signal frequency to obtain enhanced sensitivity. The improvement which may be obtained over a narrow bandwidth is limited in principle by the input noise of the SQUID. In practice the sensitivity on resonance is limited by thermal noise, and depends on the temperature and Q of the input circuit.
