results in several important benefits for the user
and the application. The main benefit is that the
behavior of the sensor is not influenced by
non-linearity and width of hysteresis curve, which
results in a highly accurate and linear response
over a wide dynamic range of measured quanti-
ties. A linear and highly accurate sensor charac-
