摘要
A new high-performance, low-cost, capacitive position-measuring system is described. By using a highly linear oscillator, shielding and a three-signal approach, most of the errors are eliminated. The accuracy amounts to 1 mum over a 1 mm range. Since the output of the oscillator can directly be connected to a microcontroller, an A/D converter is not needed.
