Abstract
This disclosure generally provides an input device modulates a reference voltage used to provide power to a plurality of power supplies and acquires, while modulating the reference voltage, first resulting signals from a plurality of sensor electrodes simultaneously at a central receiver. In input device also acquires second resulting signals from the sensor electrodes at a plurality of local receivers and mitigates an effect a grounding condition has on the second resulting signal using the first resulting signals.
