A position detection system for locating an object including a resonator comprises an array of parallel conductors responsive to a magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generator, and a plurality of receivers each associated with a parallel conductor. In one embodiment, the array of parallel conductors is provided with sinusoidally varying spacing and driven with sinusoidally varying current. In another embodiment, the array of parallel conductors is provided with constant spacing, and the receivers are configured with gain factors to produce reception similar to reception by sinusoidally spaced conductors. A method of detecting position of an object including a resonator comprises providing an array of parallel conductors, providing a plurality of receivers, and associating each of the receivers with a parallel conductor.
