Sensor arrangement for determining an angle of rotation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A sensor arrangement for determining an angle of rotation of at least one shaft when rotated around its axis of rotation, comprising:
- at least one acceleration sensor which is arranged on the at least one shaft; and
a circuit configured to determine a first angle of rotation at a first time and to determine a second angle of rotation at a second time for the at least one shaft, the circuit configured to obtain an angular velocity of the at least one shaft by forming the quotient of the difference in the second angle of rotation minus the first angle of rotation divided by the difference in the second time minus the first time.
