A method for coding an output signal of a sensor of an apparatus for determining a rotation angle of a shaft, in particular of a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, the shaft being joined to a sensor wheel having teeth and tooth gaps having an asymmetrical pitch, and the sensor wheel having associated with it at least one differential sensor encompassing two sensor elements, the differential sensor generating an output signal that is a difference of signals of the two sensor elements, the output signal being a square-wave signal that can assume a first value or a second value. The rotation direction of the shaft, as well as a pitch ratio of a tooth sweeping past the sensor with respect to an adjacent tooth gap, are ascertained from the signals of the two sensor elements, and the rotation direction as well as the pitch are coded as a pulse width coded output signal.
