A capacitive encoder utilizing a stationary plate having transmitter elements and receiver elements located on the surface thereof and a moving plate having two conductive areas separated by a sine wave shaped gap. The receiver elements on the stationary plate overlie the gap and provide outputs which vary as a function of the position of the gap with respect to the output elements. Signals from the output elements are differentially amplified and demodulated in order to provide precise sine and cosine outputs, the accuracy of which are unaffected by variations in the input signal.
