Abstract
A method of capacitive sensing includes obtaining a capacitive touch profile from multiple receiver electrodes disposed in a sensing region of an input device and obtaining an active pen profile, different from the capacitive touch profile, from the multiple receiver electrodes. The method also includes adjusting, using the capacitive touch profile, the active pen profile to obtain a corrected active pen profile and determining a position of an active pen in the sensing region, using the corrected active pen profile.
