Angular sensor for detecting position of rotation using radar technology

An angular sensor comprising:

• a base body;
• a rotating element mounted in the base body for rotation about an axis of rotation;
• a plurality of antennae, at least one of the plurality of antennae being a transmitting antenna arranged on the base body for emitting a first transmission signal, and at least two of the plurality of antennae being each a receiving antenna arranged on the base body;
• a reflector element arranged on the rotating element at a radial reflector distance from the axis of rotation, said reflector element configured to extend over part of a periphery, as observed tangentially in relation to the axis of rotation, for reflecting the first transmission signal onto the receiving antennae as a first receiving signal;
• and
• an evaluation device receiving the first receiving signal from each of the receiving antennae and determining a position of rotation of the rotating element by evaluating only the first receiving signals or by evaluating the first receiving signals and first base signals determined on the basis of the first transmission signals.
