Abstract

A method, structure and system for capacitive sensing is provided. A system includes: a two-dimensional electrode structure, wherein the two-dimensional sensing structure includes a channel for capacitive sensing, at least one integrated circuit connected to the two dimensional sensing structure and configured to mitigate external interference associated with the capacitive sensing by i) receiving a input signal from the two-dimensional electrode structure or ii) providing a select signal to the two-dimensional structure, and a data acquisition device connected to the two-dimensional electrode structure via the integrated circuit configuration and configured to receive an output signal from the integrated circuit.
