Abstract
A transmitter device for a sensor device detects a magnetic field change caused by an object approaching or moving past the sensor device, in particular by a wheel of a rail vehicle. The transmitter device has at least two alternating-current-fed transmitter oscillating circuits. In order to implement error disclosure of the sensor device in a particularly simple manner, the at least two transmitter oscillating circuits are formed in such a way that the resonance frequencies thereof are different from each other. A sensor device and a method for detecting a magnetic field change are also provided.

A transmitter device for a sensor device for detecting a magnetic field change caused by an object approaching or moving past the sensor device, the transmitter device comprising:
- at least two alternating-current-fed transmitter oscillating circuits for forming a transmitter frequency of the transmitter device;
- said at least two transmitter oscillating circuits being constructed to have resonance frequencies being different than each other.
A method for detecting a magnetic field change caused by an object approaching or moving past a sensor device in a direction of movement of the sensor device, the method comprising the following steps:
- using at least two alternating-current-fed transmitter oscillating circuits to form a transmitter frequency of a transmitter device;
- and
- forming the transmitter frequency from at least two different resonance frequencies of the at least two transmitter oscillating circuits.
