Zusammenfassung:A sensor and a method for detecting objects using an inductive sensor. An electrical alternating field is generated by using an oscillating circuit, wherein the amplitude and/or frequency of a signal of the oscillating circuit changes when an object is present. The signal of the oscillating circuit is rectified. The rectified signal is relayed to a high-pass filter, wherein damping of the oscillating circuit caused by nonmoving objects is filtered by the high-pass filter. The signal is compared with a threshold value, and an output signal is generated when the signal value is above or below the threshold value.
