Abstract
A method for determining the position of a mobile unit which has a first coil, the mobile unit being disposed in a manner allowing movement relative to a stationary second coil, and a system for carrying out a method, the first coil having two part-windings, the second coil likewise having two part-windings, prevailing strengths of the inductive coupling of the part-windings of the first coil, or of the first coil to the part-windings of the second coil or to the second coil being determined, a phase shift of the induced AC-voltage signals being determined, a position range in which the phase shift is a biunique function of the position being determined from the coupling strengths, the position being determined from the phase shift.
