Abstract
Various examples include a target for an inductive angular-position sensor. The target may rotate about a center axis and may include a number of fins respectively including a respective outer-circumferential edge to overlap a respective first arc at least partially defining a first circle centered at the center axis. A respective first central angle of the respective first arc substantially equal to 360° divided by twice a count of the fins. The number of fins may respectively include a respective inner-circumferential edge, positioned closer to the center axis than the respective outer-circumferential edge is to the center axis. The respective inner-circumferential edge may overlap a respective second arc at least partially defining a second circle centered at the center axis. A respective second central angle of the respective second arc substantially equal to 360° divided by the count of the fins. Related devices, systems and methods are also disclosed.
