1. A sensor comprising:
- a resonant transducer, wherein the resonant transducer comprises;
a sampling cell;
a bottom winding disposed around the sampling cell; and
a top windingdisposed around the bottom winding and the sampling cell, wherein the bottom winding is floating and the bottom winding is excited by an electro-magnetic field created by a power wave flowing through the top winding such that the bottom winding generates a second electro-magnetic field that is altered by its interaction with an emulsion or other dispersion in the sampling cell and the second electro-magnetic field is sensed by the top winding.

Abstract
A sensor includes a resonant transducer, the resonant transducer being configured to determine the composition of an emulsion or other dispersion. The resonant transducer has a sampling cell, a bottom winding disposed around the sampling cell, and a top winding disposed around the bottom winding. The composition of the dispersion is determined by measuring the complex impedance spectrum values of the mixture of the dispersion and applying multivariate data analysis to the values.
