dc.description.abstractThe main aims of this project were to develop and prototype a Point Coupled Linear Transformer (PCLT) displacement sensor, and to perform a general exploration of the PCLT technology. The PCLT is a recent invention that has planar PCB windings and a non-contacting movable core, and relies on variable induction to detect displacement. Different core materials and shapes are investigated. The transformer windings layout is optimized for symmetrical response and high primary to secondary voltage coupling.en_ZA
