Absolute Position Sensing Based on a Robust Differential Capacitive Sensor with a Grounded Shield Window

A simple differential capacitive sensor is provided in this paper to measure the absolute positions of length measuring systems. By utilizing a shield window inside the differential capacitor, the measurement range and linearity range of the sensor can reach several millimeters. What is more interes...
