Claims
- 1. An antenna transponder for angle measurement and data transmission, comprising:a stationary antenna device having at least two concentric coils with different mean radii and each of said two concentric coils having an interior, at least one of said two concentric coils is a meandering coil and a mean flux in said interior of said two concentric coils approximately canceling itself out; a rotatable part disposed opposite said stationary antenna device; and a transponder disposed on said rotatable part, and said stationary antenna device and said transponder defining an air gap there-between.
- 2. The antenna transponder according to claim 1, including:a shaft on which said rotatable part is connected; and a torque sensor, said transponder detecting measured torque data from said torque sensor, a torque being transmitted on said shaft and said shaft is mounted such that it can rotate, and said transponder transmits the measured torque data to said stationary antenna device.
- 3. The antenna transponder according to claim 2, including an evaluation circuit electrically conductively connected to said transponder and evaluating the measured torque data from said torque sensor, said transponder having a coil for supplying power to said evaluation circuit, a voltage induced by said coil is rectified and passed to said evaluation circuit.
- 4. The antenna transponder according to claim 1, wherein said transponder transmits a first measured variable being a resistive part, and a second measured variable being a capacitive part, to said stationary antenna device.
