Abstract
A capacitive sensor pattern comprises a first plurality of sensor electrode elements, a second plurality of sensor electrode elements, and a third plurality of sensor electrode elements. The first plurality of sensor electrode elements is disposed in a first layer above a substrate. The second plurality of sensor electrode elements is disposed above the substrate in an additional layer. At least one of the second plurality of sensor electrode elements is physically coupled with at least two of the first plurality of sensor electrode elements. The third plurality of sensor electrode elements is disposed above the substrate in the additional layer. At least one element of the third plurality is ohmically coupled to a single element of said first plurality.
