8.2.1.2.1 Sensor and Target

In this example, consider a PCB sensor with the characteristics listed in Table 23:

Table 23. Sensor Characteristics

PARAMETER VALUE
Thickness of PCB copper 1 oz (35 µm)
Coil shape Circular
Number of turns 23
Trace thickness 4 mil (0.102 mm)
Trace spacing 4 mil (0.102 mm)
PCB core material FR4
RP at 1-mm target-sensor distance 5 kΩ
RP at 7-mm target-sensor distance 12.5 kΩ
Nominal sensor Inductance 18 µH

The target is a stainless steel disk of 15-mm diameter and has a thickness of 1 mm.
