Multiband Sensor System for Detecting Surroundings, Method, and Motor Vehicle

A sensor system for detecting surroundings, comprising:

• an optical apparatus for generating an optical carrier signal;
• a transmission apparatus, which is configured to emit electrical emission signals which are based on the optical carrier signal;
• an electro-optical modulator, which has a predetermined operating point, wherein the electro-optical modulator is configured to generate multiple optical emission signals on the basis of the predetermined operating point and the optical carrier signal in such a way that the multiple optical emission signals have different frequency bands from one another;
• wherein the transmission apparatus is configured to convert the multiple optical emission signals into multiple electrical emission signals and to emit the multiple electrical emission signals with at least one radio-based transmission unit.
