A transmit/receive array is presented that allows for the measurement of eddy currents of the zeroth and first orders, simultaneously. The coil system is low-cost and mechanically simple. The performance of the coil system is evaluated based on metrics required to accurately record the spatial and temporal variation of eddy currents.
