PCT No. PCT/DE95/01296 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 21, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 21, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 21, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/09516 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 28, 1996A sensor arrangement (1) comprising at least one measuring coil (2), at least one voltage source (3) for the measuring coil (2), and an evaluation unit (4) with means for detecting, processing, and evaluating measured signals. This sensor arrangement (1) is used to measure distances and thicknesses substantially independently of the material involved, without the user having to know the physicomathematical relations between the influencing quantities and the measured values. In order to evaluate the measured signals, the evaluation unit (4) of the sensor arrangement comprises a neural network (5) with an input layer, at least one hidden layer, an output layer, and connection weights for the individual layers. The connection weights are determined and stored in a learning phase by measurements taken on a plurality of different suitable learning objects with known actual values.
