1. A method comprising:
- performing a first measurement at a receiver when a transmitter energizes a region of a touch panel using a first waveform;
performing a second measurement at the receiver when the transmitter energizes the same region of the touch panel using a second waveform, the second waveform orthogonal in content to the first waveform; and
combining the first and second measurements to determine a pixel result on the touch panel.

Abstract
Control circuitry for a touch panel includes a touch panel interface, a memory comprising scanning logic, and a controller in communication with the memory and the touch panel interface. The controller is operable, when the scanning logic is executed, to energize a first and a second row in the touch panel simultaneously, a first time; obtain a first signal measurement along a column intersecting the first and second rows; energize the first and the second row in the touch panel simultaneously, a second time; obtain a second signal measurement along the column; and determine a first pixel value and a second pixel value along the column from the first signal measurement and the second signal measurement.
