An operating method and a TDI line sensor having n TDI lines, at least one readout electronics unit and a circuit arrangement. The period of the CCD control signals is an integer multiple of a system period, with all TDI lines controlled with the same CCD control signal. The TDI line sensor is configured such that an optimum period of the CCD control signals is calculated on the basis of the relative velocity, wherein the optimum period is not an integer multiple of the system period, wherein the period of the CCD control signals is changed as an integer multiple of the system period during the integration over all n TDI lines so that the arithmetic mean of the period of the CCD control signals over the n integration steps corresponds to the optimum period.
