Summary: | The invention relates to a device having, as a sensor for detecting an object arranged behind an article that is transparent to electromagnetic radiation, a coil assembly having a first transmitting coil (1.1) and a first receiving coil (2.1) arranged orthogonally with respect to the first transmitting. An evaluation unit evaluates the output signals from the coil assembly. The fact that the coil assembly comprises the first transmitting coil (1.1) and at least one further transmitting coil (1.2, 1.3, 1.4), and the first receiving coil (2.1) and at least one further receiving coil (2.2, 2.3, 2.4), wherein axes (1.5, 1.6) of the first and of the at least one further transmitting coil are orthogonal to each other, and the axes (1.5, 1.6) of the first and second transmitting coil intersect the axis (2.5) of the first receiving coil (2.1) that is orthogonal to the first and second transmitting coils (1.1, 1.2), means that a device is provided that reduces or even eliminates the grating effect. According to the method, for this purpose, the electromagnetic fields emitted by the transmitting coils as a result of a periodic AC signal during a first half period are each directed in the direction of the first receiving coil (2.1) and, during the second half period, are directed away from the first receiving call (2.1), wherein the first receiving coil (2.1) is wired and operated in series with at least one further receiving coil (2.2, 2.3, 2.4). An electromagnetic field which penetrates the coil assembly, generates mutually opposed voltages in the receiving coils (2.1, 2.3; 2.2, 2.4). |
