Abstract
A device for measuring the position of a target includes a track, which includes a primary winding () supplied with an alternating current at high frequency, and a plurality of secondary windings (). The device measures the position of the leading edge () of the target () in a so-called longitudinal direction () between a first position and a second position between which the target () completely covers the track (). Surprisingly, this configuration enables a very significant increase in the useful measurement length of such a track ().
