Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of assembly are described that provide for improved sensor devices. An example sensor device includes a bobbin tube that defines a hollow interior. The device includes a primary coil element wound around the bobbin tube configured to, in response to a current input, generate a primary magnetic flux and includes a secondary coil element wound around the primary coil element. In an instance in which the bobbin tube receives a probe assembly therein, magnetic interaction between the probe assembly and the primary coil element is configured to induce a signal in the secondary coil element. Furthermore, a pitch of the secondary coil element varies according to a non-linear, polynomial function along a second length of the bobbin tube so as to reduce linearity error of the sensor device.
