Abstract
An input device includes a plurality of sensor electrodes and a processing system. The plurality of sensor electrodes includes transmitter electrodes and receiver electrodes. The processing system configured to: drive the transmitter electrodes using multiple frequencies and multiple zero-row-sum code-division-multiplexing (CDM) drive matrices, wherein respective subsets of the transmitter electrodes are driven with sensing signals at respective frequencies of the multiple frequencies, and wherein each of the zero-row-sum CDM drive matrices corresponds to a respective frequency of the multiple frequencies; obtain resulting signals via the receiver electrodes based on the transmitter electrodes being driven with the zero-row-sum CDM drive matrix; decode the resulting signals, wherein decoding the resulting signals includes performing a signal level recovery process; and determine presence, location and/or motion of one or more input objects based on the decoded resulting signals.
