Abstract
A sensor device includes i sensor elements of a first type and j additional sensor elements of a second type, the i sensor elements of the first type being connected in a circuitry (n×m) matrix array with n row conductors and m column conductors, where i, j, n and m are natural numbers other than zero and where 1≦i≦n*m. Each of the i sensor elements of the first type is connected between one of the n row conductors and one of the m column conductors and each of the j additional sensor elements of the second type is connected between two of the n row conductors.
