Planar Electromagnetic Sensors: Characterization, Applications and Experimental Results (Planare elektromagnetische Sensoren: Charakterisierung, Anwendungen und experimentelle Ergebnisse)

Abstract

Inspection and evaluation of conducting, magnetic and dielectric properties of materials without destroying them is very useful in industries. This paper has reported planar electromagnetic sensors, (i) meander, (ii) mesh and (iii) interdigital configuration for nondestructive applications. The characterization of three types of planar sensors has been studied and comparative performance has been evaluated based on their areas of applications and results are presented here.

Development and Evaluation of Portable Low Cost Testing System for Phthalates

“…[13][14][15]. These type of sensors have already been used for hormone detection [16,17], quality monitoring of dairy, meat and leather products [18][19][20][21][22] humidity sensors [23], chemical sensing [24][25][26], and position sensors [27].…”

Post Annealing Performance Evaluation of Printable Interdigital Capacitive Sensors by Principal Component Analysis

“…Planar interdigital geometry [1], non-destructive testing capability, single side access to the test sample [2], control of signal strength, fringing field penetration depth control, miniature size [3], simplified modeling [4], and low fabrication cost are a few advantages for this type of sensors. These characteristics have attracted the attention of device designers to design, simulate and develop sensing systems based on these sensors for numerous applications; especially, biological [5]- [7], product quality estimation, [2], [8]- [10] and chemical sensing applications [11], [12]. The principle of operation of PID sensors is technically the same as conventional parallel plate or coaxial cylinder dielectric sensor where the capacitance and conductance between the electrodes is a function of the dielectric nature of the test sample and electrode geometry [13].…”
