Overview
Sensor simulation models the electromagnetic operating principle, sensitivity, linearity, and cross-sensitivity of inductive, capacitive, Hall-effect, and eddy-current sensors — supporting miniaturisation and performance optimisation for automotive and industrial applications. Our analysis quantifies the complete transfer function, linearity range, and cross-sensitivity to temperature, adjacent materials, and external fields — providing the foundation for calibration design and shielding specifications that ensure reliable measurement across the operational envelope.

Key Aspects
Computing the sensor output signal (inductance change, capacitance change, or flux density) as a function of the measurand — generating the transfer function and sensitivity coefficient.
Evaluating sensor output linearity across the full measurement range — identifying saturation, non-linearity, and hysteresis that limits resolution and calibration stability.
Assessing sensitivity to out-of-axis displacements, temperature, adjacent magnetic materials, and external magnetic fields — informing shielding and mounting design requirements.
Evaluating how reducing sensor dimensions impacts sensitivity, linearity, and signal-to-noise ratio — enabling informed decisions about minimum viable sensor size.
