ABSTRACT:
A sensing device includes a pair of sensing electrodes disposed within a medium and a circuit connected to the sensing electrodes via impedance matching networks for producing an output signal which varies in response to a capacitive change in the medium. The circuit includes a first circuit portion including the sensing electrodes and a second circuit portion including the oscillator. The first and second circuit portions are tuned to match their impedance for more accurately measuring the capacitive changes.
