Abstract
The paper deals with material electromagnetic non-destructive testing (eNDT) with emphasize on eddy current testing (ECT). Various modifications of ECT sensing are compared and discussed from the desired detected signal characteristics point of view. Except of the optimization of usual probe coils arrangements for the concrete applications, the new magnetic sensors as giant magneto-resistance (GMR) and spin dependent tunneling (SDT) are presented. The advanced ECT sensors are characterized by their sensitivity, frequency range and sensor dimensions
