  • Capacitive fuel gaging system with resistive elements
    Patent number: 12270695
    Abstract: A fuel gaging system, such as may be used in determining an amount of fuel in an aircraft fuel system, includes a capacitance probe and a capacitance measurement circuit component including high resistance elements. The capacitance measurement circuit component includes a first excitation generator, an excitation wire connected between the first excitation generator and the capacitance probe, and a signal wire connected to the capacitance probe with the capacitance probe being connected between the excitation wire and the signal wire, wherein the first excitation generator generates an input signal applied to the excitation wire and an output signal is read from the signal wire to determine a capacitance at the capacitance probe.
    Type: Grant
