Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A circuit for measuring the reactance of an AC reactance sensor which varies responsive to a condition to be sensed such as, pressure, is disclosed. The circuit comprises an oscillator coupled to the sensor for providing a time varying oscillator signal having a variable frequency and a substantially constant peak to peak voltage to the sensor, and a plurality of rectifiers coupled to the oscillator and to the sensor for providing the oscillator signal as a charging signal to the sensor and for providing discharging signals from the sensor, the discharging signals being a function of the reactance of the sensor, and an amplifier coupled to the rectifiers and to the oscillator for providing …
