A capacitive method for measuring hand grip position on a mobile phone equipped with a dual-band planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) and a monopole antenna was studied using difierent electrode arrangements. A capacitive sensor with a dual-electrode conflguration and an antenna-integrated capacitive sensor for hand grip recognition were developed. The sensitivities of the sensors were measured along the front, side and back of the phone. The dual-electrode sensor conflguration exhibited its best sensitivity of 29fF at the bottom end of the phone. The PIFA antenna-integrated sensor proved to have sensitivity of 420fF and the monopole antenna-integrated sensor had sensitivity of 115fF, making them both reasonable solutions for hand grip sensors in mobile applications.
