This paper presents an analytical model that describes the inductance change when a double air-cored coil sensor is placed next to a conducting plate. Analysis of the analytical model reveals that the phase signature of such a sensor is virtually liftoff independent. This finding is verified by numerical evaluations. This paper also finds that the phase signature of a ferrite U-cored sensor can be approximated by that of a double air-cored sensor of similar size and, therefore, possesses a similar liftoff-independent property. Measurements made with a sample U-cored sensor next to plates of nonmagnetic and magnetic materials verified the theoretical results.
