1. A capacitive sensor for sensing an environment of the capacitive sensor, wherein the capacitive sensor comprises:

  • a single-ended portion;

    a segmented sensing differential shield portion having multiple segments; and

    a pair of traces coupled to two terminals of a differential sampling circuitry respectively for differential sampling;

    wherein the single-ended portion is connected to a first one of the traces, a first subset of the segments of the segmented sensing differential shield portion is connected to the first one of the traces, and a second subset of the segments is connected to a second one of the traces.
