Abstract
A measurement method for measuring the position of a movable body that is movable relative to a fixed body, the measurement method making use of a measurement device comprising a fixed portion for securing to the fixed body and a movable portion for securing to the movable body, the fixed portion including a first printed circuit () having formed thereon first tracks () defining at least one emission pattern () and also a plurality of measurement patterns (), the movable portion including a second printed circuit () having formed thereon second tracks () defining at least one reception pattern () and also at least one target pattern (), the first and second printed circuits being coupled together electromagnetically in such a manner that, when the emission pattern is excited by an excitation signal, an induced signal is received by the reception pattern and is then re-emitted by the target pattern, the measurement patterns then picking up measurement signals that are representative of the position of the target pattern, and thus also of the second printed circuit, of the movable portion, and of the movable body.
