Present patent describes a discloses an inductive voltage divider type sensor configured for detecting displacement.

The sensor circuit comprises:

• The disclosed inductive voltage divider type sensor has capability for sensing either unipolar or bipolar displacement. (Refer Fig.1, and Fig.3)
• Further subject invention relates to a displacement sensor that has an inductive voltage divider type sensing unit and a signal conditioning circuit.
• The inductive voltage divider type sensing unit includes an inductive element that has a single wound coil having an axis that terminate at a first end & a second end.
• A contactless wiper is placed at a fixed distance from the axis of the coil and is configured to be displaced laterally in a plane parallel to the axis of the coil. (Refer Fig.2)
