Abstract
A circuit system for evaluating a sensor, wherein the circuit system comprises two complex impedances (), wherein the complex impedances () are each part of a resonant circuit in which the complex impedances () can be excited to perform oscillations, and wherein at least one of the two complex impedances () are part of the sensor, is characterized with respect to a particularly cost-effective and as simple a circuit design as possible in that a counter () and a switch apparatus () are provided, wherein the counter () can be used to alternately count the oscillations of one of the two resonant circuits, the switch apparatus () can be switched when a specifiable counter reading has been reached, and the switch signal of the switch apparatus serves as a pulse width-modulated output signal () for the circuit system.
