High performance planar electromagnetic sensors, their modeling and a few applications have been reported in this paper. The researches employing planar type electromagnetic sensors have started quite a few years back with the initial emphasis on the inspection of defects on printed circuit board. The use of the planar type sensing system has been extended for the evaluation of near-surface material properties such as conductivity, permittivity, permeability etc and can also be used for the inspection of defects in the near-surface of materials. Recently the sensor has been used for the inspection of quality of saxophone reeds and dairy products. The electromagnetic responses of planar interdigital sensors with pork meats have been investigated.
