Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate effect of temperature even when the coaxial cable is long by adding a temperature compensation circuit which sends a temperature error correction signal to an oscillator based on the DC potential difference between both output terminals of the oscillator for feeding a high frequency to a detection coil to enable accurate measurement regardless of temperature changes. CONSTITUTION:As values of resistances R and R' of a detection coil 3 on a coaxial cable 4 for measuring the distance from an object 8 to be measured change with temperature changes in the measuring system, the impedance of the whole circuit varies and the value also changes which indicates the distance between the detection coil 3 and the object 8 being measured as outputted to the terminal 9. On the other hand, a signal corresponding to the DC potential difference between both the terminals of an oscillator 2 passing through a differential amplifier 10 and a low-pass filter circuit 11 is proportional to R and R'. This signal is inputted into an oscillation voltage adjustor 12 and a temperature correction signal is fed to the oscillator 2 to correct temperature errors due to changes in the resistance. This enable accurate measurement regardless of temperature changes thereby eliminating effect of temperature even when the coaxial cable 4 is long.
