1. A single-layer capacitive sensor comprising:

  • a user input region comprising;

    a plurality of transmitter electrodes within said user input region; and

    a plurality of receiver electrodes disposed in a common stackup layer with said transmitter electrodes within said user input region such that said transmitter electrodes and said receiver electrodes make no crossings of one another in said common stackup layer or in any other layer within said user input region; and

    a border region proximate to and outside of said user input region and located along one side edge of said user input region, said border region comprising;

    a plurality of routing traces extending from said border region into said user input region from said one side edge to couple with said transmitter electrodes and said receiver electrodes; and

    a plurality of transmission traces disposed entirely within said border region, wherein said transmission traces are configured for transmitting a signal for receipt by one or more routing traces of said plurality of routing traces.
