Abstract
A capacitive sensor array may include a first sensor element of a first plurality of sensor elements, and a second sensor element. The second sensor element may include a plurality of subelements, where each of the plurality of subelements is connected to at least another of the plurality of subelements by one of a plurality of connecting traces. A width of each of the connecting traces may be less than a width of any of the plurality of subelements. Connecting traces in a subset of the plurality of connecting traces may be staggered about a central axis of the second sensor element.
