Coil receiver: Conventional eddy current probes<br />

Conventional eddy current probes use both a coil as the driving and receiving sensor.<br />

The reception of the eddy currents is again based on Faraday's induction laws. When<br />

a voltage I applied to the driving coil, it creates a magnetic field that induces eddy<br />

currents in the tested material. In return, these eddy currents generate an additional<br />

magnetic field that interacts with the initial one. A receiving coil picks up the variations<br />

of that resulting magnetic field and converts it into a measurable electrical signal.<br />
