Abstract
The invention presented herein describes a sensor, more specifically a position sensor for a vehicle, featuring several measuring systems that work independently of one another, where each of the measuring systems generates a pulse width-modulated signal becoming available at an output of the sensor one by one, where each of the sensor values is coded according to the duty factor of a pulse compared with the period of the signals, and where the sensor has means of synchronizing the sensor with a receiving station, wherein the means of synchronization is used to modify the amplitude and/or the period of one or several pulses.
