Method and sensor arrangement for determining the position and/or change of position of a measured object relative to a sensor

A method for determining the position and/or change of position of a measured object relative to a sensor, where the sensor preferably has a sensor coil to which an alternating current is applied, is characterized in that a magnet associated with the measured object, in a soft magnetic foil, whose permeability changes under the influence of a magnetic field on the basis of the magnetic field's field strength and which is arranged in the area of influence of the sensor, brings about a change in the permeability of the foil and in that the change in the permeability of the foil is determined from the latter's reaction to the sensor, and this is used to determine the position and/or change of position of the measured object relative to the sensor. A sensor arrangement is designed accordingly.
