Using inductive sensors of absolute pressure as sensitive converters for wavemetering buoys

Using inductive absolute pressure sensors in wavemetering buoys is motivated. It is indicated that the operation of sensors in this instrument is characterized by some peculiarities, which has determined the earlier choice of differential pressure sensors. To increase the reliability of wavemetering buoys, it is suggested using inductive sensors of absolute pressure as a sensitive converter. The results of studying static and dynamic characteristics of this type sensors are given.
