By using a highly linear oscillator, shielding and a three-signal approach, most of the errors are eliminated. The accuracy amounts to 1 μm 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. I. INTRODUCTION This paper describes a novel high-performance, low-cost, capacitive displacement measuring system featuring: 1 mm measuring range, 1 μm accuracy, 0.1 s total measuring time. Translated to the capacitive domain, the specifications correspond to: a possible range of 1 pF; only 50 fF of this range is used for the displacement transducer; 50 aF absolute capacitance-measuring inaccuracy. Meijer and Schrier [l] and more recently Van Drecht,Meijer, and De Jong [2] have proposed a displacement-measuring system, using a PSD (Position Sensitive Detector) as sensing element. Some disadvantages of using a PSD are the higher costs and the higher power consumption of the PSD and LED (Light-Emitting Diode) as compared to the capacitive sensor elements described in this paper. The signal processor uses the concepts presented in [2],but is adopted for the use of capacitive elements. By the extensive use of shielding, guarding and smart A/D conversion,the system is able to combine a high accuracy with a very low cost-price. The transducer produces three-period-modulated signals which can be selected and directly read out by a microcontroller. The microcontroller,in return, calculates the displacement and can send this value to a host computer (Fig. 1) or a display or drive an actuator. Fig. 1. Block diagram of the system Fig. 2.
