Abstract

Embodiments include a method, input device, and processing system for operating a plurality of sensor electrodes for capacitive sensing. The method includes acquiring a first capacitive partial profile by driving a first capacitive sensing signal onto a first sensor electrode of a first plurality of sensor electrodes while driving a second sensor electrode of the first plurality of sensor electrodes with a substantially constant voltage. The method further includes acquiring a second capacitive partial profile by driving a second capacitive sensing signal onto the second sensor electrode while driving the first sensor electrode with the substantially constant voltage, and determining a first capacitive profile based on at least the acquired first capacitive partial profile and the second capacitive partial profile.
