Measuring arrangement and method for determining an angular position of a target that is rotatable about an axis

A measuring arrangement for determining an angular position of an electrically conductive, rotatable target, the measuring arrangement comprising:

• a stationary coil arrangement including a transmitter coil and a first receiver coil and a second receiver coil;
• wherein the target is rotatable about an axis with respect to the coil arrangement;
• and
• the transmitter coil is acted on by a transmission current, having a defined amplitude, frequency, and phase, that induces first and second voltage signals in the first and second receiver coils that are a function of an angular position of the target with respect to the coil arrangement;
• a measurement and evaluation unit configured to detect the voltage signals of the receiver coils and determine the angular position of the target from amplitudes of the voltage signals;
• and
• the measurement and evaluation unit is further configured to determine, based on the phase of the transmission current, an expected value for phases of the voltage signals of the receiver coils, and to designate the determined angular position of the target as error-free if the phases of the voltage signals of the receiver coils match the expected value for the phases of the voltage signals within a defined tolerance range.
