    摘要: An inductive position sensor includes, on the one hand, a primary coil and, on the other hand, at least one secondary coil that includes at least two secondary windings each consisting of a plurality of turns formed on two layers of a printed circuit board. Each of the turns has a first generally concave portion placed on one layer of the printed circuit board and a second generally concave portion placed on another layer of the printed circuit board. Among the first portions and second portions of the turns of the two secondary windings, at least some of these first and second portions are arranged in mirror symmetry on either side of a transverse separation plane, this transverse separation plane being located between the two secondary windings and being orthogonal to the longitudinal direction.

    摘要: The described techniques are directed to inductive torque sensors that implement independent target coil and pickup coil systems. By utilizing the various principles of inductive angle sensors, and as a result of the specific physical arrangement of target coils, the inductive torque sensor may independently obtain a rotational position (i.e., mechanical angle) of the rotatable input shaft via one pickup coil system, and a rotational position (i.e., mechanical angle) of the rotatable output shaft via another pickup coil system. Combiner circuitry is also provided to calculate the torsion angle using the signals induced in each of two separate pickup coil systems. By using different k-fold symmetry periodicities in the target coils with respect to the coil configurations, the inductive torque sensor advantageously reduces or eliminates mutual coupling between the different target coil systems and provide robustness to stray or external electromagnetic fields.
