Abstract
A method for measuring an angular position of a rotatable signal-inducing unit uses a sensor unit electrically isolated from the signal-inducing unit. The signal-inducing unit has a center electrode disposed in a signal-inducing unit plane and a rotary electrode disposed in the signal-inducing unit plane, the rotary electrode being conductively connected to the center electrode and laterally offset therefrom. The sensor unit has a first sensor electrode disposed in a sensor plane and at least one second sensor electrode disposed in the sensor plane, the sensor electrodes being arranged in a circle around a ground electrode disposed in the sensor plane, the signal-inducing unit plane and the sensor plane being oriented substantially parallel to one another. The signal-inducing unit is supported so as to be rotatable about the center electrode and the rotary electrode is movable along a circular path in the region of the sensor electrodes.
