Method for querying a measurement value
First Claim
1. A method for checking a measured value, the measured value being converted to a modulation signal which influences a reflection characteristic of a sensor antenna, a signal being transmitted by a checking device, the signal being sent back with a change by the sensor antenna and the signal again being received by way of the checking device, the measured value being determined from the received changed signal, wherein a plurality of measured values are detectable by sensors and the checking device being movable past a plurality of sensor antennas, the method comprising:
- using a plurality of sensor antennas to detect a plurality of measured values of checking devices, located on a railroad line, which are part of a power supply installation of the railroad line, the checking devices each being located in a rail vehicle which moves along a track of the railroad line, wherein the sensors detect electric current from the track installation of a direct-current railroad to the ground.

Abstract
A method for querying a measurement value, wherein the measurement value is converted into a modulation signal that influences the reflective properties of a sensor antenna. A signal is emitted via a query device, wherein the signal is returned in an altered fashion by the sensor antenna and then received again by the query device. The measurement value is determined from the altered signal received. According to at least one embodiment of the invention, a plurality of measurement values are detected by sensors and the query device is moved past a plurality of sensor antennas in a vehicle or by a person. Thus, a plurality of sensors detect measurement values on a railroad line, for example. The vehicle is, for example, a rail vehicle traveling on the track of the railroad line.
