Abstract
Disclosed is a capacitive proximity sensor including a microcontroller which is configured to perform measurements in a repetitive predetermined sequence, the sequence including a series of N consecutive measurements, N being a natural integer greater than or equal to three, wherein, with the period between two consecutive analog-to-digital conversions of the first measurement of the series being called a reference period, the period between two analog-to-digital conversions of a measurement m of the series, m being a natural integer included between 2 and N, is defined as being equal to the reference period plus the product of and a predetermined additional unitary period. The additional unitary period is equal to half the period needed to shift a noise sensitivity peak of the sensor by half its frequency width.
