Abstract

A capacitive sensor is disclosed. The capacitive sensor comprises a plurality of spaced-apart X traces disposed along an X axis and a plurality of spaced-apart Y traces disposed along a Y axis with each of the Y traces forming a single crossing with each of the X traces. The X traces and the Y traces are arranged in an intertwined pattern about each crossing. The X traces and the Y traces are insulated from each other.
