This work present two
methods for designing simple and compact planar coils. The length of a
constant wire width is minimized using Euclidian and Manhattan distance.
Euclidian coils exhibit smooth patterns of slightly lower resistance than that
of square-shape coils obtained using Manhattan distance. Manhattan coils show straight
conductors which minimizes the force and facilitate the coil manufacturing. The
coil sensitivity increases up to 1.8 times when placed in the iron poles but in
detriment of the coil slew rate. Compact transverse coils architected using
both distance minimization induces a residual eddy current smaller than 0.05% within
the DSV.
