ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is shown for detecting with high sensitivity by allowing the operation of an e-field amplifier without a DC bias resistor shunt with the amplifier input. E-fields produced by an approaching body, or changing E-field of the background, turn on the amplifier from a partial DC bias state with E-field coupling to the power supply of the amplifier. The result is high sensitivity and extremely long battery life. The amplifier is sensitive to transient and quasitatic DC E-field and the AC background signals. The signals are available simultaneously for processing at the output of the amplifier in a DC and AC coupled channel. The resulting signals are passed to a control system.
