Inductive position sensor for small applications

Abstract

An inductive positioning sensor () for small electrical and electronic applications that allows to achieve a higher induced voltage output. The inductive positioning sensor () is arranged in a multi-layer printed circuit board, that comprises an excitation coil () and at least one receiver coil A () and a corresponding duplicated receiver coil A (), where the excitation coil circularly surrounds the limits defined by the at least one receiver coil A () and the corresponding duplicated receiver coil A (). The at least one receiver coil A () comprises a main convergence point () and at least one auxiliary convergence point (), and the corresponding duplicated receiver coil A () comprises at least one auxiliary convergence point (). The at least one receiver coil A () and the corresponding duplicated receiver coil A () merge together in a secondary convergence point ().
