Abstract

Apparatuses and methods of frequency selection algorithms and frequency set selection are described. One method monitors a signal on the electrodes of a sense network, determine a first group of noise metrics of noise in the signal, determine a second group of noise metrics. The method switches from a first operating frequency in a first set to a second operating frequency in the first frequency set based on the first group of noise metrics and switches from the first operating frequency in the first set to a third operating frequency in a second frequency set based on the second group of noise metrics.
