DOOR POSITION SENSOR
First Claim
1. Capacitive sensor system comprising a sensor circuit connected to a first (15) and a second antenna (11), the first antenna (15) is arranged on a first object (10) and the second antenna (11) is arranged on a second object (11) movable relative to said first object (10) characterized in that the first antenna (15) is arranged right next to the second object (11) for the sensor circuit to detect the movement and/or position of the second object (11).

- 17. Method for a capacitive sensor system comprising a sensor circuit connected to a first (15) and a second (11) antenna, the first antenna (15) is arranged on a first object (10) and the second antenna (11) is arranged on a second object (11) movable relative to said first object (10), the arrangement of antennas forming an equivalent electrical circuit characterized in that the sensor circuit detects the position of the second object (11) by measuring the total capacitance (17) in the electrical circuit and compare it with a stored diagram of the relationship between total capacitance and the position of the second object (11).
