Abstract
A sensing element for an inductive angle measuring device includes a first, a second, a third, and a fourth receiving conductive path. The second receiving conductive path extends over a second arc length, and the fourth receiving conductive path extends over a fourth arc length. The course of the first receiving conductive path and the third receiving conductive path is periodic along a first circular line. The course of the second receiving conductive path and the fourth receiving conductive path is periodic along a second circular line. The second receiving conductive path and the fourth receiving conductive path are arranged such that there is a first gap with a first gap length and a second gap with a second gap length between them in the circumferential direction. The first gap length and the second gap length are of different sizes, or the second arc length and the fourth arc length are of different sizes.
