Abstract
Sensor with a one-layer or multi-layer sensor element operating in a contact-free manner and a housingcomprising an electric/electronic connection and, in given cases, electronic components, where the sensor element comprises a coil arrangementwhose windingshave a defined line width, line thickness, and line spacingper layerand whose layershave a defined layer thicknessand, in given cases, a defined layer spacing, characterized in that the sensor element is built up from ceramic layers in the sense of multi-layer ceramics and that with respect to traditional coil arrangements the layer thicknessor the layer spacingis reduced and the number of windings per cross-sectional surface area is increased.
