Study Notes
Motion Sensors
- Capacitor plate sensor: consists of a moving plate attached to a moving object and fixed plates connected to a transformer supplied with AC voltage.
- Operation: movement of plate induces a phase difference at the phase sensitive detector, which is converted to a DC voltage output that depends on the position of the moving plate.
- Limitations: only works for movements 0.4 Hz for inactive, walking, and running states.
