Abstract
A sensor system includes a reader side resonant circuit (10) and a sensor side resonant circuit (20). The reader side resonant circuit (10) is an LCR parallel resonant circuit and a gain circuit. The sensor side resonant circuit (20) is an LCR parallel resonant circuit and a loss circuit having, as a resistance portion, a sensor element whose resistance value changes according to an object to be sensed. The reader side resonant circuit (10) and the sensor side resonant circuit (20) are wirelessly connected to each other through magnetic field resonant coupling to constitute a gain-loss coupling circuit, and the reader side resonant circuit (10) and the sensor side resonant circuit (20) are formed such that the gain-loss coupling circuit has parity-time symmetry.
