TLDR
In this article, a capacitive proximity sensing element, backed by a reflector driven at the same voltage as and in phase with the sensor, is used to reflect the field lines away from a grounded robot arm towards an intruding object, thus dramatically increasing the sensor's range and sensitivity.Abstract:

Patent
Automatic control using proximity sensors
TL;DR: In this paper, the difference in signal strength between the two antenna strips exceeds a threshold level and is used to determine the position of the object on one side or another of the antenna strips, where a bootstrap electrode is positioned behind a single antenna strip and is electrically connected to follow the voltage induced on the antenna strip by the received signal.
