Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring an unknown capacitance using a known reference capacitance, wherein a first electrode of the unknown capacitance is connected to ground.

Abstract: The invention relates to an angular measurement device comprising a variable reluctance magnetic circuit comprising a fixed portion (3) associated with a coil (2) and at least a moving element (4) attached to a part (5) rotating in front of the fixed portion, the angular position of which is to be detected, comprising: means (I) for integrating the voltage across the coil, means for measuring the instantaneous value of the integrated voltage (15), means for comparing this measure to a calibrating curve of the integrated voltage versus the angle.
