Abstract: A touch sensor having a touch sensitive film, a signal filter, electrical circuitry and a processing unit. The film is capable of capacitive or inductive coupling to an external object when a touch is made by the object. The signal filter is formed by the resistance of the film and the capacitive or inductive coupling to the external object, and the filter has properties affected by location of the touch and/or capacitance or inductance of the touch. The electrical circuitry is coupled to the touch sensitive film and configured to supply excitation, amplitude and wave form into the signal filter and to receive response signals from the signal filter. The processing unit is configured to detect the presence or proximity of a touch, the location of said touch, the capacitance and/or inductance of said touch by processing response signals and thereby measuring changes in the properties of the signal filter.
