Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a novel inductive rotational position sensor that includes a sensor module having transmitting and receiving coils formed on a printed circuit board with a signal processor located in a center area enclosed by the transmitting and receiving coils. This arrangement permits a more compact sensor module. The entire sensor module can be positioned inside a cavity, which has a diameter generally the same as the diameter of the rotational element whose position is being sensed. The arrangement also permits a coupler to be formed on the end of the target. The sensor is concentric with the transfer case shaft and an annulus bore of a transfer case. The sensor is non-contacting and has no movable parts.
