Capacitative Sensors : Design and Applications

A volume in the IEEE Press Series on Electronics Technology.

Gain a thorough understanding of the technology used to build reliable, producible capacitive sensors with high accuracy and low parts cost!

This text shows practicing engineers the theory, electrode configuration, and practical circuits needed for capacitive sensor design.

Capacitive sensors are being used for a wide variety of jobs in consumer and industrial equipment, including wall stud sensors, keypads, lamp dimmers, micrometers, calipers, rotation encoders, and many more.

Larry Baxter has designed and built many capacitive sensor projects over a long career as a consulting engineer.

His is the only book devoted entirely to this exciting technology.
