POSITION SENSOR, ACTUATOR-SENSOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE INDUCTIVE DETECTION OF A POSITION

摘要

A position sensor for the inductive detection of a position of a first component comprising a reference coil with respect to a second component comprising a reference body. A control and processing unit of the position sensor is coupled to the reference coil and is designed for issuing an output signal generating a current impulse in the reference coil. In addition, the control and processing unit is designed for evaluation of an oscillation generated by the current impulse in the reference coil as an input signal indicating the position of the reference body.
