first receiver coil 68 and a second receiver coil 70 by the loop coil member 38 the first receiver coil 68 and the second receiver coil 70 each have a waveform with a period that may be equal as illustrated the first receiver coil 68 and the second receiver coil 70 waveforms are out of phase when compared to one another so that each location of the loop coil member 38 along the circuit board member 60 induces voltages with unique phase information in the first receiver coil 68 and the second receiver coil 70 the measured output voltage phase of the first receiver coil 68 and the second receiver coil 70 is a function of the position of the loop coil member 38 relative to the circuit board member 60 and thus of the linear position of the movable seat frame with respect to the fixed seat track the receiver coil voltage and phase measurements are converted to a sensor signal output using a lookup table and interpolating a relative value the sensor signal output as seen in fig2 is connected to the rcm 42 referring to fig4 the inductive sensor 34 may interface to the rcm 42 via the integrated circuit 66 in one embodiment the integrated circuit 66 is an integrated circuit with an analog output signal in another embodiment the integrated circuit 66 is an integrated circuit with a digital output signal of course any.
