Abstract

A method for measuring a coil property, modeled as a parallel-circuit including a capacitance with a series-circuit including a DC-voltage and frequency-dependent resistance, and an inductance and current-voltage converter series connected, by: applying an AC-voltage, having a first-frequency and a DC-voltage component, to the coil and a voltage at the current-voltage converter is captured at a second-frequency, and the impedance and phase-angle at the first-frequency are derived from n-measured values; and applying an AC-voltage, having a third-frequency differing from the first and having a DC-voltage component, to the coil and voltage at the current-voltage converter is captured at the second or fourth-frequencies, in which the impedance and phase-angle at the third-frequency are derived from m-measured values for the DC-voltage resistance.
