  • Abstract
    This paper presents a model simulating the transient response of a capacitive humidity sensor made of a polymer sensitive film. The model is based on the theory of molecule diffusion in polymer films. The confrontation of this model with finite element simulation and experimental results demonstrates its accuracy. This model could be implemented in a microprocessor for data extraction.
