Abstract

A method for operating multiple sensors of a vehicle in at least partially spatially coinciding detection areas and in a shared frequency domain. In the method, at a transmission point in time, at least two sensors transmit simultaneously on separate instantaneous frequencies separated by a frequency gap, the frequency gap including at least one instantaneous receive bandwidth of the sensors, each instantaneous frequency being blocked for a use by the sensors after the transmission point in time for the duration of a time gap, the time gap including at least one signal propagation time across a reception range of the sensors.
