Abstract
A method of palm rejection is executed by a sensor controller that is connected to a plurality of sensor electrodes and that detects a downlink signal transmitted from an active pen. The method includes determining whether or not a phase of the detected downlink signal matches a phase shared in advance between the sensor controller and the active pen, and outputting, when it is determined that the phases match, a position of the active pen derived on the basis of a distribution of levels of the downlink signal in the plurality of sensor electrodes.
