Abstract
Resonant impedance sensing with a resonant sensor (such as LC) is based on generating a controlled negative impedance to maintain steady-state oscillation in response to changes in resonance state caused by interaction with a target. Resonant impedance sensing can include: (a) generating a controlled negative impedance at the sensor; (b) controlling the negative impedance based on a detected resonance state to substantially cancel the sensor resonant impedance, such that the sensor resonance state corresponds to steady-state oscillation, where the negative impedance is controlled by a negative impedance control loop that includes the sensor resonator as a loop filter; and (c) providing sensor response data based on the controlled negative impedance, such that the sensor response data represents a response of the sensor to the target. Thus, the response of the sensor to the target corresponds to the negative impedance required for steady-state oscillation.
