Abstract
An input device includes: a plurality of sensor electrodes disposed in a sensing region of the input device; and a processing system configured to operate a first subset of the plurality of sensor electrodes in a multi-frequency parallel transcapacitive sensing manner to obtain a first capacitive touch profile. Operating the first subset of the plurality of sensor electrodes in the multi-frequency parallel transcapacitive sensing manner to obtain the first capacitive touch profile includes: operating a first plurality of sensor electrodes of the first subset as transmitter electrodes, including driving the transmitter electrodes with sensing signals of two or more different frequencies; operating a second plurality of sensor electrodes of the first subset as receiver electrodes, including obtaining resulting signals via the receiver electrodes corresponding to the sensing signals; and obtaining the first capacitive touch profile based on the obtained resulting signals.
