CIRCUIT FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF A WHEEL

A circuit for determining the speed of rotation of a wheel, has an inductive transmitter (1), the output of which is connected to a pulse-shaping device (7) whose output is connected to an evaluation device. The inductive transmitter is connected to an evaluation circuit (11) by means of a cable (6). The evaluation circuit is intended, on the one hand, to make certain that the input signal of the inductive transmitter (1) can be evaluated while, on the other hand, it should be able to detect errors which may occur, for instance due to a break in the cable (6) despite the presence of dirt resistances (RS). For this purpose, an auxiliary circuit (10) is provided which varies the internal resistance of the pulse-shaping device (7) as a function of the speed.
