    Abstract: A method for measuring a capacitive sensor output may include applying an excitation signal to a capacitor of the capacitive sensor which causes generation of a modulated signal from a baseband signal, wherein the excitation signal is of a carrier frequency which is higher than frequency content of the baseband signal, demodulating the modulated signal to generate an output signal representative of a capacitance of the capacitor wherein the demodulating is based, at least in part, on the excitation signal, determining whether noise in the modulated signal is caused by interference at approximately the carrier frequency, and in response to determining noise in the modulated signal is caused by interference at approximately the carrier frequency, modifying the carrier frequency to another frequency to reduce noise caused in the modulated signal by the interference.
