Zusammenfassung:The method involves obtaining a digital receiving signal by a transmitter and a receiver of a time domain reflectometry sensor (10), and adjusting adapted sampling frequency of a reflection signal, such that an interferer lies outside of a usage band. Interferer frequency of the interferer is estimated in sampling frequency that is different from another sampling frequency around difference sampling frequency. A scaling factor is determined from the difference amount of the sampling frequencies, where the adapted frequency is determined from the scaling factor and the difference frequency. An independent claim is also included for a sensor comprising a transmitter and a receiver.
