  • Inductive position sensor with coil configuration
    Patent number: 12111187
    Abstract: Coil configurations for sensing devices, and related methods are directed towards a sensor including an inductance-capacitance oscillating circuit. The inductance-capacitance oscillating circuit may include a first coil arranged in parallel with a second coil. The inductance-capacitance oscillating circuit may further include an oscillator in electronic communication with the first coil and the second coil. The first inductance-capacitance oscillating circuit may also include at least one capacitor positioned between the oscillator and at least one of the first coil and the second coil.
