Hi Stinde,

AN5320 should answer most of your questions. Can you have a look and feed back if you have further questions?

Best Regards, Ulysses

Hi Ulysses,

Is this correct:

If I need more detection distance, I increase the distance between the electrodes and increase the area, more the parallel length, of the electrodes to compensate decreasing of the coupling capacitance when distance is increasing.

Stinde

Hi Stinde,

yes.
