Patent attributes
An inductive position sensor may be configured to detect relative position between a first member and a second member. The inductive position sensor may include a transmit aerial configured to be disposed on the first member. The inductive position sensor may include a receive aerial configured to be disposed on the first member. The inductive position sensor may include processing circuitry configured to provide one or more signals indicative of the relative position between the first member and the second member based on a receive signal induced in the receive aerial resulting from a signal provided to the transmit aerial. One or more of the transmit aerial and the receive aerial may include one or more windings. A shape of the one or more windings can be a combination of a sinusoidal waveform and one or more scaled harmonics of the sinusoidal waveform.
