Abstract

See full text

System and processes for transmitting orthogonal frequencies on a touch sensor are provided. In one example process, the rows of the sensor panel can have signals transmitted thereon having orthogonal frequencies. The orthogonal frequencies can be separated by a frequency spacing (Δf) that is at least the reciprocal of a measurement period τ (e.g., an integration time) of the touch sensor. Touch events cause and correspond to signals on the columns, which can be received by a receive system including appropriate amplifiers. The orthogonal frequencies can be detected by the receiver with a Fourier Transform or filter bank. Separate digitization and signal processing can be implemented for every column. The receiver can measure the quantity of each of the orthogonal transmitted signals present on each column, identifying the rows in touch with each column and may also provide additional (e.g., qualitative) information concerning the touch.
