Abstract
A capacitive rotation angle sensor and an associated system with a capacitive rotation angle sensor. The capacitive rotation angle sensor has at least one stator, at least one rotor, and an evaluation unit. The at least one rotor has a main body and multiple rotor vanes extending radially outward from the main body. Multiple first rotor vanes of the multiple rotor vanes are designed differently from multiple second rotor vanes of the multiple rotor vanes. The evaluation unit is designed to detect when the multiple first rotor vanes reach, have reached, or exceed a predetermined rotation angle.
