Abstract :
The resolution and sensing field of electrical capacitance tomography sensors depends upon the configuration of their electrodes and guards, so optimum design is essential in order to provide improved response. Simulations in 2D and 3D are performed based on the finite element method to study the influence of the electrode, guard size and screen arrangement on the sensor characteristics and the reconstructed image
