Abstract: A writing pen capacitively detects and amplifies signals generated by a writing table that produces a varying electrostatic field near its writing surface. The pen cartridge, which senses the signal, is capacitively coupled to a concentric electrode, from which the signal which has been detected may be obtained for amplification.
