guard ring

[′gärd ‚riŋ]

(electricity)

A ring-shaped auxiliary electrode surrounding one of the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor to reduce edge effects.

(electronics)

A ring-shaped auxiliary electrode used in an electron tube or other device to modify the electric field or reduce insulator leakage; in a counter tube or ionization chamber a guard ring may also serve to define the sensitive volume.

(thermodynamics)

A device used in heat flow experiments to ensure an even distribution of heat, consisting of a ring that surrounds the specimen and is made of a similar material.

2 consists of a three-part coaxial capacitive sensor in which the middle one is acting as the main sensing probe and the other two capacitors considered as the guard rings in order to reduce the stray capacitance effect and the source of errors in measurements (it must be mentioned that such design is more useful for the case of small capacitance change measurements).
