Conventional eddy-current sensors have the advantages of being contactless and having high bandwidth and high sensitivity. They are widely used in micro-displacement measurement, micro-angle measurement, and rotational speed measurement. However, they are based on the principle of impedance measurement, so the influence of temperature drift on sensor accuracy is difficult to overcome. A differential digital demodulation eddy current sensor system was designed to reduce the influence of temperature drift on the output accuracy of the eddy current sensor. The differential sensor probe was used to eliminate common-mode interference caused by temperature, and the differential analog carrier signal was digitized by a high-speed ADC. In the FPGA, the amplitude information is resolved using the double correlation demodulation method. The main sources of system errors were determined, and a test device was designed using a laser autocollimator. Tests were conducted to measure various aspects of sensor performance. Testing showed the following metrics for the differential digital demodulation eddy current sensor: nonlinearity 0.68% in the range of ±2.5 mm, resolution 760 nm, maximum bandwidth 25 kHz, and significant suppression in the temperature drift compared to analog demodulation methods. The tests show that the sensor has high precision, low temperature drift and great flexibility, and it can instead of conventional sensors in applications with large temperature variability.

“…Common non-contact sensors include optical (including laser and fiber optic) interferometric [ 1 ], capacitive [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ], and eddy current [ 6 , 7 , 8 ] sensors. Optical interferometric displacement sensors are irreplaceable in specific applications due to their advantages, such as immunity to electromagnetic interference, large measurement distance and range, and lack of requirements on the target material.…”

To measure the micro-displacement reliably with high precision, a single-ended eddy current sensor based on temperature compensation was studied in detail. At first, the principle of the eddy current sensor was introduced, and the manufacturing method of the probe was given. The overall design plan for the processing circuit was induced by analyzing the characteristics of the probe output signal. The variation in the probe output signal was converted to pulses with different widths, and then it was introduced to the digital phase discriminator along with a reference signal. The output from the digital phase discriminator was processed by a low-pass filter to obtain the DC component. At last, the signal was amplified and compensated to reduce the influence of temperature. The selection criteria of the frequency of the exciting signal and the design of the signal conditioning circuit were described in detail, as well as the design of the temperature-compensating circuit based on the digital potentiometer with an embedded temperature sensor. Finally, an experimental setup was constructed to test the sensor, and the results were given. The results show that nonlinearity exists in the single-ended eddy current sensor with a large range. When the range is 500 μm, the resolution can reach 46 nm, and the repeatability error is ±0.70% FR. Within the temperature range from +2 °C to +58 °C, the voltage fluctuation in the sensor is reduced to 44 mV after temperature compensation compared to the value of 586 mV before compensation. The proposed plan is verified to be feasible, and the measuring range, precision, and target material should be considered in real-world applications.
