Abstract

A circle grid-capacitance sensor is capable of high precision. How to correctly design and improve its precision and resolution is a prime research objective. There provided a new idea that how to realize circle grid-capacitance has high resolution by numbered emitter-poles and ruler poles. By analyzing the principle of capacitance sensor measuring the angle-displacement, there first provided a design idea that making output voltage to pulse signal, per pulse stands for a certain amount angle-displacement. And then, for getting more pulses when object rotated a certain angle, that is, the sensor will has high resolution, there must be many emitter-poles affixed on moveable grid-disk and many ruler-poles affixed on fix grid-disk. To ensure there is no pulses occurred at the same time, the number of emitter-poles and that of ruler-poles must be prime number to each other at least. At the same time, to ensure each pulse interval must be equal, the number of emitter-poles and that of ruler-poles have to be considered further more. This technique provides a new idea for right designing circle grid-capacitance and for improving its precision and resolution.
