Zusammenfassung:An inductive angle sensor includes an exciter coil, an oscillator circuit, a plurality of receiver coils, an evaluation circuit evaluating a plurality of signals induced in the receiver coils, and a coupling element that is movable and influences a strength of an inductive coupling between the exciter coil and the receiver coils. The coupling element has a first encoder element and a second encoder element. The coupling element has a third encoder element formed as a conducting extension with an asymmetric geometry. The asymmetric geometry influences the strength of the inductive coupling between the exciter coil and the receiver coils only in a part of a plurality of periodically repeating loop structures of the receiver coils.
