Tx/Rx electrode length influence

The Tx/Rx electrode length influences the proximity detection distance. The longer the

Tx/Rx plate length, the higher the detection distance is. Figure 18 shows the influence of the

Tx/Rx electrode length on the detection range.

Figure 18.

Detection range versus Tx/Rx electrode length

In addition, the projected capacitance between the Tx and Rx electrode increases when the

Rx/Tx electrode length increases. Regarding the projected capacitance equation (see

Equation 2 and Figure 15), the higher the front area of the two electrodes is, the higher the

capacitance is. When the projected capacitance increases the noise on the acquisition

signal decreases. Figure 19 shows the influence of the Tx/Rx electrode length on the noise

standard deviation.
