In this paper, the distance between sensing coil L1 and object is measured by the pulse width proportional to the phase-shift Ph 1 between the coil current and voltage, where the Schmitt trigger can be added to introduce hysteresis in the switch point.
Abstract
The distance between sensing coil L1 and object is measured by the pulse width proportional to the phase-shift Ph1 between the coil current and voltage. An analogue comparator K1 measures the coil voltage relative to a reference dc voltage and switches a logic gate when the coil voltage becomes larger or smaller than the reference. A second comparator K2 measures the voltage across a reference impedance Zref relative to a second dc voltage and switches a gate. The output from K1 and the inverted K2 output are fed into a logic gate which generates a pulse sequence F of pulse width proportional to the phase-shift at the oscillator frequency. A Schmitt trigger can be added to introduce hysteresis in the switch point.
