Method and device for correcting a signal of a sensor

A method for correcting a signal of a sensor, the method comprising:

• comparing at least one characteristic quantity of the signal of the sensor with a reference value;
• correcting the signal of the sensor as a function of a comparison result;
• and
• determining a reference value for the at least one characteristic quantity of the signal of the sensor from the signal of the sensor;
• wherein the at least one characteristic quantity of the signal of the sensor includes a signal amplitude.

A device for correcting a signal of a sensor, comprising:

• at least one comparator unit to compare at least one characteristic quantity of the signal of the sensor with a reference value;
• a correction unit to correct the signal of the sensor as a function of a comparison result;
• and
• a determining arrangement to determine a reference value a reference value of the at least one characteristic quantity of the signal of the sensor from the signal of the sensor;
• wherein the at least one characteristic quantity of the signal of the sensor includes a signal amplitude.
