novel eddy current method for magnetic plate identification is presented. This method uses the magnetic property in low frequency and conductive property in high frequency of the magnetic plates. The frequency profiles are measured with a conventional impedance analyzer, as a function of lift-off, which represents the distance between the coil and magnetic plate. If a coil is placed to a magnetic plate, there is a cross frequency at which the measured value is as same as inductance of coil only. The measured value of cross frequency depends on the coil diameter, placed magnetic plate, not strongly depends on the liftoff. In this paper, identification of iron and nickel plates are successfully demonstrated. A discussion with an iron plate with nickel plating of 40 �m is also mentioned.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
