Characterisation of interdigital capacitor for water level sensor / Noor Aishah Muhammad

Water levels sensors are studied by using Inter Digital Capacitor (IDC) technique on Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The effectiveness of using PCB is studied as to reduce the cost of making sensor. IDC technique is used to make the capacitance measurement of the solution became more effective. This pa...
