I am building capacitance sensing electrodes to detect insects/small animals. The electrode shapes are mostly driven by animal/environment restraints and I need a way to estimate parasitic/residual capacitance; the ICs I use only allow so much nulling. I have gerber/dxf of the layers and can generate 3D models.
Any suggestions for a way to model both the parasitics and resulting change in capacitance with a cylinder of radius R, mainly water (Er~80).
Thanks-
john
