Advantages and limitations of eddy current displacement sensors in the measurement of standing wave ratios of transverse waves in stranded metal cables
(1985)
Abstract
Ed~y current displacement scnso~ have been used successfully to measure the standing wave
ranos (SWR) of transverse waves m stranded metal cables. The difficult measurements are those
of the minima. The effects of inclined transverse motions, longitudinal waves, and torsional waves
on the m~ur~~cnt o~ the minima arc discussed. Adequate centering of the sensor on the axis of
the cable is cnttcal; this centering is best done with conjugate sensors.
