1. A sensor arrangement comprising:

  • a capacitive sensor configured to generate an electric field in an area of a panel of an electronic device and detect a change in the electric field due to a user input disturbance, the panel arranged at a distance from the capacitive sensor; and

    a grid disposed between the capacitive sensor and an external surface of the panel, the grid comprising a first plurality of electrically conductive lines disposed, at least in part, between the capacitive sensor and the external surface of the panel and arranged in a first direction and a second plurality of electrically conductive lines disposed, at least in part, between the capacitive sensor and the external surface of the panel and arranged in a different second direction such that the first plurality of electrically conductive lines intersects with the second plurality of electrically conductive lines at a plurality of intersections of the grid disposed, at least in part, between the capacitive sensor and the external surface of the panel and forming a plurality of mesh eyes, wherein the grid is not in contact with the capacitive sensor.
