CAPACITIVE PROXIMITY SENSOR FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE, COLLISION PROTECTION DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A CAPACITIVE PROXIMITY SENSOR

摘要

A capacitive proximity sensor for a motor vehicle contains a transmission electrode for producing a measurement field and a reception electrode for detecting at least part of the measurement field. Furthermore, the proximity sensor contains a screen electrode that is disposed to form the measurement field between the transmission electrode and the reception electrode. The proximity sensor is in particular provided for use in a collision protection device for the motor vehicle.
