Abstract
An apparatus for determining an item of position information relating to a position of a magnetic field transducer relative to a position sensor. The position sensor is designed to generate at least one periodic measurement signal when the magnetic field transducer moves relative to the position sensor. A processing unit of the apparatus is designed to determine the position information based on a respective measurement signal value of a respective periodic measurement signal using a calibration function assigned to the respective periodic measurement signal. The assigned calibration function represents the respective periodic measurement signal using a Fourier series having a respective plurality of Fourier coefficients which differ from zero and are of an order greater than zero. The processing unit is designed to at least approximately solve the assigned calibration function for the respective measurement signal value in order to determine the position information.
