Abstract
A sensor device for determining a distance and/or speed of an object, including a transmitting unit for emitting light of at least one frequency onto the object, the transmitting unit being designed for emitting light in at least one angular range, the light in the angular range being time-dependent varied essentially simultaneously with frequencies in different frequency ranges, a receiving unit for receiving light reflected by the object, the receiving unit being designed for scanning the received light in the particular frequency range at least two points in time, and an evaluation unit, which is designed for determining the distance and/or the speed of the object on the basis of the emitted light and the points in time at which the received light was scanned.
