Abstract

In a touch system, a transmitter (TX) driving unit generates at least one pair of orthogonal drive signals, each pair having a specific frequency. At least one pair of TX electrode lines is simultaneously driven by the at least one pair of orthogonal drive signals, respectively. A sense signal is induced on a receiver (RX) electrode line by capacitances disposed between the TX electrode lines and the RX electrode line. An RX detection unit detects the sense signal to simultaneously result in two sense components that respectively estimate the capacitances associated with the TX electrode lines of the pair.
