A signal conditioning circuit for capacitive displacement sensors was developed using a high frequency modulation/demodulation method, and its performance was evaluated. Since capacitive displacement sensors can achieve high resolution and linearity, they have been widely used as precision sensors within the range of several hundred micrometers. However, they inherently have a limitation in low frequency range and some nonlinearity characteristics and so a specially designed signal conditioning circuit is needed to handle these properties. The developed signal processing circuit consists of three parts: linearization, modulation/demodulation, and nonlinearity compensation. Each part was constructed discretely using several IC chips and passive elements. An evaluation system for precision displacement sensors was developed using a laser interferometer, a precision stage, and a PID position controller. The signal processing circuit was tested using the evaluation system in the respect of resolution, repeatability, linearity, and so on. From the experimental results, we know that a highly linear voltage output can be obtained successfully, which is proportional to displacement and the nonlinearity of output is less than 0.02% of full range. However, in the future, further investigation is required to reduce noise level and phase delay due to a low-pass filter. The evaluation system also can be applied effectively to calibration and evaluation of precision sensors and stages.

정전 용량형 고분자막 감습재료로 사용하기 위하여 서로 반응성이 있는 공중합체들 methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), acrylic acid (MA) 와 hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)의 공중합체들을 합성하였다. 정전 용량형 습도센서는 가교화된 폴리메타크릴레이트 공중합체 막의 양면에 금 전극을 형성시켜 제조하였다. 공중합체에서의 HEMA양이 증가할수록 상대습도에 따른 정전 용량은 증가하였다. MMA/MA/HEMA=40/10/10의 경우, 상대습도가 30%RH, 60%RH 및 90%RH에서의 정전 용량은 각 102, 134와 165 pF이었다. 또한 히스테리시스, 온도 사이클 그리고 장기안정성 결과를 측정하여 정전용량형 습도센서로서의 특성을 평가하였다.

본 논문에서는 가전기기의 대기전력 저감을 위해 Capacitive Divider Power Supply(CDPS)로 전원을 공급받는 고효율 전원제어회로를 제안하였다. 이 제어회로는 220 V의 AC 전압을 높은 효율로 기기의 구동용 저전압 DC로 변환하기 위하여 기존의 변압기나 SMPS를 사용하는 대신 커패시터 분압기(Capacitive Divider)를 사용하여 전원을 공급하도록 제작되었으며, 대기 상태에서 교류전력선과 가전기기를 완전히 분리시킨 상태에서 적외선 수신기, MCU, 래치 타입 릴레이 등의 소자를 이용하여 기존 상용 리모컨으로도 전원제어가 가능하도록 설계되었다. 설계된 회로의 소비전력은 2.2 mW이며 본 논문에서 제안한 전원제어회로를 대기전력이 700 mW인 모니터에 적용하여 측정한 결과 대기전력이 7 mW로 낮아지는 것을 확인하였으며, 태양전지를 보조전원으로 추가 할 경우 태양전지에서 공급해주는 전력만큼 대기전력이 감소함을 확인하였다.

This paper describes the development of capacitive sensor for the diagnosis of liquid dielectrics, which is widely used as the electrical insulating oil of transformer, circuit breaker, cable and etc. To survey the dielectric properties of the virgin and aged electrical insulating oils, we utilized the highly precise measuring system, using the principle of cross capacitance. The measured properties were used to determine the design factors of the sensor. Then the factors were optimized with the help of computational analysis. To evaluate diagnosis by the sensor, we performed accelerated thermal aging test about electrical insulating oils. The condition of aged specimens were investigated by measurements of relative permittivity i.e. capacitance change by capacitive sensor. And to evaluate the hysteresis characteristics with the change of temperature, we constructed a testing system, which was composed with vacuum drying oven, oil chamber and measuring instruments, such as LCR meter, MUX and so forth. Through the results of this investigation, we confirmed the superior characteristics of the newly developed sensor.

An objective of this paper is to develop a partial discharge (PD) measurement device for monitoring gas insulated switches installed in power distribution system. A capacitive voltage probe was studied and designed to detect PD pulse without an electrical connection. The PD measurement device consists of the capacitive voltage probe attached outside of a bushing, a coupling network which attenuates AC voltage by 270 dB, and a low noise amplifier with the gain of 40 dB in ranges of 500 kHz${\sim}$20 MHz. The sensitivity of the prototype device calculated by a calibrator was 1.98 m V /pc. An application experiment was carried out in a 25.8 kV gas insulated switch and the peak pulse of 76.7 pC was detected. From the experimental results, it is expected that the PD measurement device can be applied to online monitoring system of gas insulated switches.

The ability to take electrocardiographic measurements while performing our daily activities has become the people-choice for modern age vital sign sensing. Currently, wet and dry ECG electrodes are known to pose threats like inflammations, allergic reactions, and metal poisoning due to their direct skin interaction. Therefore, the main goal in this work is to implement a very small ECG sensor system with a capacitive coupling, which is able to detect electrical signals of heart at a distance without the conductive gel. The aim of this paper is to design, implement, and characterize the contactless ECG electrodes. Under a careful consideration of factors that affect a capacitive electrode functional integrity, several different sizes of ECG electrodes were designed and tested with a pilot ECG device. A very small cotton-insulated copper tape electrode ($2.324cm^2$) was finally attained that could detect and measure bioelectric signal at about 500 um of distance from the subject's chest.

In this paper, Capacitive Telemetry RF Sensor System using Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm was proposed. General Telemetry RF Sensor System means that it should be "wireless", "implantable" and "batterless". Conventional Telemetry RF Sensor System adopts Integrated Circuit type, but there are many defects like complexity of structure and the limitation of large power consumption in some cases. In order to overcome these disadvantages, Telemetry RF Sensor System based on inductive coupling principle was proposed in this paper. Proposed Telemetry RF Sensor System is very simple because it consists of R, L and C and measures the changes of environment like pressure and humidity in the type of capacitive value. This system adopted RLS algorithm for estimation of this capacitive parameter. For the purpose of applying RLS algorithm, proposed system was mathematically modelled with phasor method and was quasi-linearized. As two parameters such as phase and amplitude of output voltage for estimation were needed, Phase Difference Detector and Amplitude Detector were proposed respectively which were implemented using TMS320C2812 made by Texas Instrument. Finally, It is verified that the capacitance of proposed telemetry RF Sensor System using RLS algorithm can be estimated efficiently under noisy environment.
