Fringing Field Capacitive Smart Sensor Based on PCB Technology for Measuring Water Content in Paper Pulp

We present a capacitive smart sensor based on printed circuit board (PCB) technology to measure the amount of water content in a paper pulp at the wet end of a paper machine. The developed sensor incorporates in the same PCB the signal processing circuits. It is a handheld portable device, and its o...
