Abstract
A digitizing system includes a differential noise reduction technique wherein spaced parallel grid conductors in a tablet are differentially sensed in order to cancel out locally induced noise signals. Grid conductors also are sensed in a single ended fashion to initially locate a grid conductor conducting a larger induced carrier signal amplitude than any other grid conductor and produce amplitude data that is used to eliminate ambiguities arising from differential sensing of pairs of spaced grid conductors.
