前記センサ部の受信回路には、前記第2のアンテナコイルに流れる信号の包絡線を検波する検波回路が含まれる、請求項1に記載された近接スイッチ。 - 前記センサ部の制御回路は、前記送信回路を一定の期間動作させる制御と送信回路を一定の期間休止させる制御とを交互に実行すると共に、前記送信回路が動作している期間に前記受信回路が受信した信号の周波数がメモリに登録された周波数に一致し、かつ送信回路が休止している期間に受信回路が受信信号のレベル変化を検出しない状態になったことを前記アクチュエータ部が前記センサ部に近接していると判定する条件として、前記判定処理を実行する、請求項1または2に記載された近接スイッチ。
- 前記アクチュエータ部は、前記信号処理回路の分周比を変更可能に構成されており、
前記センサ部の制御回路には、所定の条件下において前記送信回路が動作しているときに前記受信回路により検出された信号からその周波数を検出して前記メモリに登録する登録処理手段が、さらに設けられる、請求項1~3のいずれかに記載された近接スイッチ。 - 前記アクチュエータ部として、前記信号処理回路の分周比がそれぞれ異なる複数のアクチュエータ部のいずれか1つが導入され、
前記センサ部の制御回路には、所定の条件下において前記送信回路が動作しているときに前記受信回路により検出された信号からその周波数を検出して前記メモリに登録する登録処理手段が、さらに設けられる、請求項1~3のいずれかに記載された近接スイッチ。
