Abstract

A fingerprint sensing system for sensing a fingerprint pattern of a finger, comprising: a sensor array including a plurality of electrically conductive sensing structures; read-out circuitry connected to each of the sensing structures for providing sensing signals indicative of a capacitive coupling between the sensing structures and the finger; first signal providing circuitry for providing a first time-varying voltage signal to at least a portion of the sensor array; at least one electrically conductive edge-compensating structure arranged outside the sensor array; and second signal providing circuitry for providing a second time-varying voltage signal to the at least one edge-compensating structure.
