Abstract
A method of determining a torque applied to a rotatable shaft is provided. The method includes transmitting a first electro-magnetic transmit signal towards a first mutually coupled structure mechanically coupled to the rotatable shaft, converting, by the first mutually coupled multitrack structure, the first electro-magnetic transmit signal into a first electro-magnetic receive signal; receiving the first electro-magnetic receive signal; evaluating the received first electro-magnetic receive signal; and determining the torque applied to the rotatable shaft based on the evaluated first electro-magnetic receive signal.
