Original Abstract Submitted

A sensor system is described with improved measurement accuracy that is achieved by reducing noise, baseline drift, or both based on processing a group of sensor element response signals. The response signals may be received in response to providing stimuli to the sensor element using different excitation frequencies over time. For example, the sensor circuitry may provide excitation signals to the sensing element with multiple excitation frequencies over time. The sensor system may include storage and processing circuitry to receive the response signals and to generate the correction values based on analyzing the received response signals. The sensor system may then provide adjusted response signals by reducing the noise, baseline drift, or both based on the correction values.
