Abstract
A processing system, including: a sensor module that: receives, in a first sensing modality, first resulting signals from electrodes in a sensing region; and receives, in a second sensing modality, second resulting signals from a subset of receiver electrodes; and receiver hardware channels that process the second resulting signals, where the number of receiver electrodes exceeds the number of hardware channels; and a determination module that: measures a first plurality of capacitive changes based on the first resulting signals; determines, based on the first plurality of capacitive changes, the section of the sensing region in which an input object is located; selects the subset of the receiver electrodes corresponding to the section; measures a second plurality of capacitive changes based on the second resulting signals; and determines a position of the input object within the section based on the second plurality of capacitive changes.
