The Capacitive Touch Sensor (CTS) is a gesture sensitive functional textile touch-pad interface for physical devices. The CTS is produced as a single piece of fabric requiring only two electrodes to ...

As a specific example of a capacitive sensor, consider a capacitive relative humidity (RH) sensor. In this type of sensor, the dielectric material is designed to absorb water vapor from the ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front ...

Capacitive touch switches combine to simulate an analog control. In the last Sensor Sense we looked at capacitive touch switches used for on/off control. But these switches are also found in ...
