METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE POSITION OF A SENSOR ELEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining the position of a sensor element (300), according to which a magnetic alternating field (210) emitted by at least one field generating unit (200) is measured. The position of the sensor element (300) is determined on the basis of a signal received in the sensor element (300). The inventive method is further characterized in that interference fields (410) are calculated, preferably to a first approximation, said interference fields being caused by eddy currents (420) produced in electrically conductive objects (400). The position that can be determined on the basis of the signal received in the sensor element (300) is corrected on the basis of the calculated interference fields (410).
