In this study, coil sensors that are used with a pulsed eddy current (PEC) were designed and fabricated. The proposed sensor is a differential send-receive type that eliminates the voltage induced by the direct field from the exciting coil in a PEC probe. The signal from the sensing coil is generated only on a metal specimen. For the experiment, various metal plates of different conductivities and aluminum plates of different thicknesses from 1 mm to 25 mm were prepared. A voltage square pulse was applied to an exciting coil, and the output from the sensing coil was captured by a digital oscilloscope. The applied voltage was approximately 20 volts at its greatest with a current peak of approximately 15 amperes. A 10% variation of the thickness of an aluminum plate of 20 millimeter thick was measured.
