習知的互電容式感測器(mutual capacitive sensor),包括絕緣表層、第一導電層、介電層、第二導電層、其中第一導電層與第二導電層分別具有多條第一導電條與第二導電條,這些導電條可以是由多個導電片與串聯導電片的連接線構成。A conventional mutual capacitive sensor includes an insulating surface layer, a first conductive layer, a dielectric layer, and a second conductive layer, wherein the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer respectively have a plurality of first conductive layers The strip and the second conductive strip may be composed of a connecting line of a plurality of conductive sheets and a series of conductive sheets.

在進行互電容式偵測時,第一導電層與第二導電層之一被驅動,並且第一導電層與第二導電層之另一被偵測。例如,驅動信號逐一被提供給每一條第一導電條,並且相應於每一條被提供驅動信號的第一導電條,偵測所有的第二導電條的信號來代表被提供驅動信號的第一導電條與所有第二導電條間交會處的電容性耦合信號。藉此,可取得代表所有第一導電條與第二導電條間交會處的電容性耦合信號,成為一電容值影像。When performing mutual capacitance detection, one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer is driven, and the other of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer is detected. For example, driving signals are supplied to each of the first conductive strips one by one, and corresponding to each of the first conductive strips to which the driving signals are supplied, detecting signals of all the second conductive strips to represent the first conductive provided with the driving signals A capacitive coupling signal at the intersection of the strip and all of the second strips. Thereby, a capacitive coupling signal representing the intersection between all the first conductive strips and the second conductive strip can be obtained as a capacitance value image.

據此,可以取得在未被觸碰時的電容值影像作為基準,藉由比對基準與後續偵測到的電容值影像間的差異,來判斷出是否被外部導電物件接近或覆蓋,並且更進一步地判斷出被接近或覆蓋的位置。然而,在週圍環境中有許多的雜訊干擾,如低頻的雜訊干擾或窄頻的雜訊干擾,可能造成誤判或位置的偏差。Accordingly, it is possible to obtain a capacitance value image when the touch is not touched as a reference, and determine whether the external conductive object is approached or covered by the difference between the comparison reference and the subsequently detected capacitance value image, and further Determine the location that is approached or covered. However, there are many noise disturbances in the surrounding environment, such as low frequency noise interference or narrow frequency noise interference, which may cause misjudgment or positional deviation.

請參照圖1C,為上述二維度互電容式偵測的示意圖。由第一導電條Tx 端送出脈衝寬度調變(PWM)信號,經第一導電條Tx 與第二導電條Rx 間的電容性耦合,可以在第二導電條Rx 端接收到與Tx 端相同的頻率及差距一固定相差的信號。Please refer to FIG. 1C , which is a schematic diagram of the above two-dimensional mutual capacitance detection. A first conductive strips feeding terminal T x pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, via a first capacitive coupling between the conductive strips of R x T x and the second conductive strips, the conductive strips may be received in the second end with R x The same frequency and difference of the T x end is a fixed phase difference signal.

本發明提出一種量測信號的方法與裝置,是採用信號正交的模式做信號處理的基礎。The invention provides a method and a device for measuring signals, which are the basis of signal processing using a signal orthogonal mode.

例如,Rx 端接收到的接收到的信號為S (t )=A sin(ωt ),其中A為振幅。For example, the received signal is received at R x S (t) = A sin ( ω t), where A is the amplitude.

,只有在m =n 時,才有積分值。 , only when m = n , there is an integral value.

但一般的信號相乘的電路不易在電路上實施,所以習知技術皆採方波的方式來實施,變成是I =ʃ(PWM )sgn(PWM )dtHowever, the general signal multiplication circuit is not easy to implement on the circuit, so the conventional techniques are implemented in a square wave manner, and become I = ʃ ( PWM ) sgn ( PWM ) dt .

但是方波本身的Fourier series展開可表示成,會存在許多奇次諧波,因此會變成。But the Fourier series expansion of the square wave itself can be expressed as There will be many odd harmonics, so it will become.

其中S (t )=方波或sine wave+n (t ),其中n (t )為noise或干擾, 可以發現會存在有奇次諧波的分量。 Where S ( t )=square wave or sine wave+ n ( t ), where n ( t ) is noise or interference, It can be found that there are components with odd harmonics.

因此,當有窄頻的干擾發生在奇次諧波附近,會無法消除該干擾的影響,如圖2所示。尤其當使用類比轉數位電路ADC在各半週期取相同相位之資料,然後相加再Σ(正半週期-負半週期)後,對於高次奇次諧波的影響更大。Therefore, when there is a narrow-frequency interference occurring near the odd harmonics, the influence of the interference cannot be eliminated, as shown in Fig. 2. Especially when using the analog-to-digital circuit ADC to take the same phase data in each half cycle, and then adding and then Σ (positive half cycle - negative half cycle), the effect on higher order odd harmonics is greater.

因此,在本發明的一最佳模式下,是採用弦波驅動,並且依據多個預定相位建立一個係數表,其中每一個預定相位被指定一係數。在本發明的較佳範例中,係數為預定相位的正弦值的倍數,如下表所示。Therefore, in a preferred mode of the present invention, sine wave driving is employed, and a coefficient table is established in accordance with a plurality of predetermined phases, wherein each predetermined phase is assigned a coefficient. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the coefficients are multiples of the sine of the predetermined phase, as shown in the following table.

此外,在每半週期的多個預定相位量測弦波以分別產生一量測信號,如圖3所示,其中共量測至少半週期。之後,依據每一個量測信號及量測時的相位對應的係數相乘,以分別產生一加權量測信號,再將各加權量測信號加總以產生代表單次量測結果的一完整量測信號。In addition, the sine waves are measured at a plurality of predetermined phases per half cycle to respectively generate a measurement signal, as shown in FIG. 3, wherein the total measurement is at least a half cycle. Then, multiplying each of the measurement signals and the coefficients corresponding to the phases of the measurements to respectively generate a weighted measurement signal, and then summing the weighted measurement signals to generate a complete quantity representing the single measurement result. Measuring signal.

本發明亦可以採脈衝寬度調變(PWM)信號。雖然在表1與圖4中,每週期量測6個量測信號,每次量測差60度的相位,僅為便於本發明舉例之用,並非用以限制本發明,本技術領域具有通常知識者可推知每週期可以是量測2個、4個或更多個量測信號,並且每次量測可以是相差相同的相位也可以是相差不同的相位,本發明並不加以限制。The invention also employs a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. Although in Table 1 and FIG. 4, 6 measurement signals are measured per cycle, and the phase difference of 60 degrees per measurement is used for the convenience of the present invention, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and the technical field has the usual The knowledgeer can infer that two, four or more measurement signals can be measured per cycle, and each measurement can be a phase with the same phase difference or a phase with a different phase, which is not limited by the present invention.

依據上述,完整量測信號可以是According to the above, the complete measurement signal can be .

參照前述 Refer to the foregoing

AD (k )相當於sin(m ωt ),並且C (k )相當於sin(n ωt ),其中m=n。在表1中,係數值為相位的正弦值的2倍,這是因為放大兩倍後正好為整數,整數運算具有比浮點數運算簡化的優點。據此,在本發明的一範例中,更包含將C (k )整數化,即將乘上一倍數讓C (k )以整數呈現。據此,高次諧波的干擾便可以抑制下來,如圖4所示。 AD ( k ) is equivalent to sin( m ω t ), and C ( k ) is equivalent to sin( n ω t ), where m=n. In Table 1, the coefficient value is twice the sine value of the phase. This is because the integer operation is exactly an integer, and the integer operation has the advantage of being simplified compared to the floating point number operation. Accordingly, in an example of the present invention, it is further included that C ( k ) is integerized, that is, multiplied by a multiple such that C ( k ) is represented by an integer. Accordingly, the interference of higher harmonics can be suppressed, as shown in FIG.

前述的將各加權量測信號加總可以是採用數位邏輯電路來達成。例如是量測類比的量測信號(如AD (k ))後將類比的量測信號轉換成數位的量測信號信號,再進行將各加權量測信號加總的運算。換言之,以此方式處理不需複雜的電路,只需簡單數位邏輯電路即可完成。The foregoing summing the weighted measurement signals can be achieved by using a digital logic circuit. For example, after measuring the analog measurement signal (such as AD ( k )), the analog measurement signal is converted into a digital measurement signal signal, and then the operation of summing the weighted measurement signals is performed. In other words, processing in this way does not require complicated circuits, and only a simple digital logic circuit can be completed.

依據上述,在本發明的一第一實施例中,是一種量測信號的方法,請參照圖5所示。首先,如步驟510所示,接收一弦波。弦波可以是由前述的控制器提供,提供弦波於一觸摸屏的一條或一組驅動導電條。此外,弦波是由觸摸屏中與被提供弦波的所述一條或一組驅動導電條交疊的多條感測導電條之一接收,所述的多條感測導電條之一是經由與被提供弦波的所述一條或一組驅動導電條電容性耦合來提供該弦波。之後,如步驟520所示,於弦波的至少一週期的多個預定相位分別量測弦波的一量測信號,其中量測信號可以是類比的或數位的。接下來,如步驟530所示,依據所述至少一週期的每一量測信號分別乘以量測時的預定相位的正弦值產生的一乘積來產生所述至少一週期的一加權量測信號,其中加權量測信號可以是類比的或數位的。再接下來,如步驟540所示,將所述至少一週期的所有加權量測信號加總以產生一完整量測信號,其中完整量測信號可以是類比的或數位的。According to the above, in a first embodiment of the present invention, a method for measuring a signal is shown in FIG. 5. First, as shown in step 510, a sine wave is received. The sine wave may be provided by the aforementioned controller to provide a chord wave to one or a group of drive strips of a touch screen. In addition, the sine wave is received by one of the plurality of sensing strips in the touch screen that overlaps the one or a group of driving strips that are supplied with a sine wave, and one of the plurality of sensing strips is via The one or a set of drive strips that are provided with a sine wave are capacitively coupled to provide the sine wave. Thereafter, as shown in step 520, a measurement signal of the sine wave is separately measured at a plurality of predetermined phases of at least one period of the sine wave, wherein the measurement signal may be analogous or digital.

Similarly, summing all of the weighted measurement signals of the at least one cycle to produce a complete measurement signal is also performed in a digital manner. In addition, the weighted measurement signal is a product of digits multiplied by a digital measurement signal, and each sine value is multiplied by the same multiple to produce an integer value.

In addition, the sum of the weighted measurement signals may be added in an analogy manner or in a digital manner. For example, all of the weighted measurement signals for the at least one period are always implemented in an integrated manner, as implemented by an integration circuit, and the measurement signal is analogous to the weighted measurement signal. For another example, all analog weighted measurement signals are first analogically rotated to generate all analog weighted measurement signals, and then summed.
