  • Publication number: 20230389997
    Abstract: A sensor includes a core oriented along a first vector corresponding to an axis of the core. A slanted coil has windings around the core at an angle to the axis of the core along a second vector oriented at a substantial angle to the direction of the windings. At least one middle conductor is coupled to the windings to enable dividing the windings into sub-coils about the middle conductors. The sub-coils may have different slants with respect to the direction of the windings. A pair of end conductors are coupled to opposite ends of the coils such that signals obtained from the middle and end conductors provide sufficient information to determine roll about the axis of the core.
