A transducer is described for use in a position sensor. The transducer has a magnetic field concentrating member, such as an elongate ferrite rod, a first coil operable, in use, to couple with a first portion of the magnetic field concentrating member positioned adjacent the first coil and a second coil operable, in use, to couple with a second portion of the magnetic field concentrating member positioned adjacent the second coil, the second portion being spaced along the magnetic field concentrating member from the first portion. The transducer also comprises a resonator having a coil wound around a portion of said magnetic field concentrating member which is located between said first and second portions. The transducer is arranged so that, during use, the electromagnetic coupling between the resonator and at least one of the first and second coils varies as a function of the relative position between the elongate field concentrating member and that coil. In this way, separate processing electronics can process the signals obtained from the transducer to determine the desired position information.
