The present invention relates to the field of fingerprint identification technologies, and provides a method and a system for processing fingerprint sensing signals, and a fingerprint identification terminal. The method includes a frequency mixing step by mixing a collected high frequency fingerprint sensing signal with a first high frequency signal to obtain a low frequency signal; and an amplification step by amplifying the low frequency signal. By using the character that capacitance impedance is inversely proportional to signal frequency, the present invention shifts a fingerprint sensing signal with a high frequency into a signal with a low frequency through frequency spectrum shifting and performs signal amplification on the signal with a low frequency, which can overcome the difficulty in amplifying the high frequency fingerprint sensing signal and thus improves the signal-to-noise ratio SNR.
