Abstract :
A simple, low-component active-RC circuit is given for the measurement of in-circuit, discrete, and incremental capacitances. The measurement circuit provides the measured value of capacitance directly in terms of the circuit´s output voltage. The proposed system provides good accuracy for these measurements. The capacitance measurements are independent of the signal frequency. Experimental results that support the theory are included
