Wear debris in lubrication oil provides important information for marine engine condition monitoring and faults diagnosis. Inductive sensors have been widely used to detect wear oil. To improve the sensitivity, inductive coil is always connected with a capacitor parallel form LC resonance-sensing circuit. A previous study optimized resonance circuit by adjusting excitation frequency. However, m...
