  • Patent number: 11119138
    Abstract: A method may include applying an excitation signal to a capacitor of the capacitive sensor which causes generation of a modulated signal from an input signal indicative of a variance in a capacitance of the capacitor, detecting the modulated signal with a detector to generate a detected modulated signal that has a phase shift relative to the excitation signal, demodulating the detected modulated signal into an in-phase component and a quadrature component using a reference signal, nullifying the quadrature component by setting a phase of the reference signal relative to the excitation signal to compensate for the phase shift, and outputting the in-phase component as an unmodulated output signal representative of the capacitance.

  • Publication number: 20190011291
    Abstract: A method for measuring a capacitive sensor output may include applying an excitation signal to a capacitor of the capacitive sensor which causes generation of a modulated signal from a baseband signal, wherein the excitation signal is of a carrier frequency which is higher than frequency content of the baseband signal, demodulating the modulated signal to generate an output signal representative of a capacitance of the capacitor wherein the demodulating is based, at least in part, on the excitation signal, determining whether noise in the modulated signal is caused by interference at approximately the carrier frequency, and in response to determining noise in the modulated signal is caused by interference at approximately the carrier frequency, modifying the carrier frequency to another frequency to reduce noise caused in the modulated signal by the interference.
