Abstract

The human body as a greatly charged source exhibits a strong electric field (EF). The development of electrostatic sensor (ES) is quite useful for the detection of human body and its activities, such as the body location and moving prediction. However, most ESs cannot distinguish different human targets limited to the feature of 360° orientational sensitivity. In this paper, we propose a spatially sensitive ES with a smart pattern design of staggered-arrangement electrodes. The electric shields are sandwiched into staggered electrodes in plane, and also the mirror stacking electrodes and the electric shields are designed in out of plane. Key parameters are discussed to enables a recognized EF regional division in 3D space, owning the sub-area/sub-layer orientational sensitivities.
