The sensor is composed of a meander-exciting coil and three solenoid pick-up coils. Application of three pick-up coils increases the speed of the inspection process. Information about defects can be extracted either from an amplitude or a phase of a signal obtained during the inspection. A visualization process was provided using the amplitude data. In this paper the structure of the ECT sensor and principles of detection as well as experimental results are presented.}, pages = {2010--2012}, title = {Novel Eddy Current Testing Sensor for the Inspection of Printed Circuit Boards}, volume = {37}, year = {2001} }
