Inductive Sensors: Simple Inductance

This lecture covers the principles of inductive sensors, focusing on simple inductance and respiratory inductive plethysmography. It explains how a conductor carrying current generates a magnetic field, the concept of inductance, and the use of inductive sensors in medical instrumentation. The lecture also discusses respiratory inductive plethysmography, detailing the measurement of chest and abdomen expansion using conductive wire coils and the conditioning process involving oscillators and phase-locked loops.
