Article Description

We present a highly sensitive wearable angular position sensor to measure joint movement. The sensor is a 3D helical coil knitted in the sleeve of a garment by circularly knitting thin insulated metal wire and yarn simultaneously. The sensing mechanism is based on the variation of the mutual inductance between windings. A 167 μH change is measured for knee movement from fully stretched to completely bent. A double cross coupled FET pair transforms the low-Q coils into a high-Q system giving a maximum frequency variation of 145 kHz for knee bending.
