Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method including determining which sense lines are potentially corrupted based on touch image information, measuring a sense signal on each sense line, and applying a trained best compensation factor to the measured sense signal on potentially corrupted sense lines in order to produce a corrected sense signal. The corrected sense signal eliminates active stylus signal that has cross-coupled to a touch contact (e.g., a finger or conductive stylus) and thereby mitigates errors in stylus location due to cross-coupled signal.

Abstract: Electrode configurations for reducing wobble error for a stylus translating on a surface of a touch sensor panel is disclosed. Electrodes associated with a more linear signal profile can correlate to lower wobble error. In some examples, electrodes can be configured such that the signal profile associated with each electrode is spread to be wider, and thus, more linear. In some configurations, electrodes can include two or more bars extending along the length of the electrode with each bar electrically connected to one another at one or both ends. Bars can be of non-uniform width or spacing. Some configurations can include a “split bar,” which can divide a bar lengthwise in order to improve optical uniformity. In some examples, electrodes can include projections which can interleave with corresponding projections in adjacent electrodes.

Abstract: Pre-processing can be applied to raw signal measurements resulting from stimulation from an input device, such as an active stylus, having a non-linear signal profile. The pre-processing can include a non-linear transformation, which can linearize the signal profile and thereby reduce wobble resulting from location detection algorithms. The transformation can be selected based on the signal profile for the stylus and the ideal profile for the location detection algorithms. In some examples, the transformation can be applied to linearize the entire signal profile, but in other examples, the non-linear transformation can be applied only to specific regions of the signal profile. The pre-processing can also discard raw signal measurements that are at least a threshold distance from the peak signal measurement or raw signal measurements below a threshold signal level.

Abstract: A technique for PAR reduction involves producing an optimized clipping pulse. The optimized clipping pulse may be designed to meet certain requirements, such as a spectral mask target or an EVM target, when applied to a signal.
