Training Reactive (C & L) Sensors

Reactive (C & L) Sensors

Sensors & Instrumentation
Intermediate 60 minutes 2 lessons
Capacitive and inductive transducers — parallel-plate sensors, LVDTs, and eddy-current probes — in the signal-conditioning tradition of Pallàs-Areny and Webster.

Learning Objectives

  • Compute capacitance of parallel-plate and coaxial sensor geometries
  • Analyze capacitive gap, area, and dielectric sensors
  • Derive LVDT output and understand phase-sensitive demodulation
  • Calculate eddy-current characteristic frequency
