  • Inductive position sensor for small applications
    Patent number: 12754042
    Abstract: An inductive positioning sensor (100) for small electrical and electronic applications that allows to achieve a higher induced voltage output. The inductive positioning sensor (100) is arranged in a multi-layer printed circuit board, that comprises an excitation coil (1) and at least one receiver coil A (2) and a corresponding duplicated receiver coil A (22), where the excitation coil circularly surrounds the limits defined by the at least one receiver coil A (2) and the corresponding duplicated receiver coil A (22). The at least one receiver coil A (2) comprises a main convergence point (106) and at least one auxiliary convergence point (104), and the corresponding duplicated receiver coil A (22) comprises at least one auxiliary convergence point (104). The at least one receiver coil A (2) and the corresponding duplicated receiver coil A (22) merge together in a secondary convergence point (104).
