Abstract
Digital data are transmitted from a measurement station to an air bag control unit in a motor vehicle. A direct signal of the air bag control unit which serves the purpose of supplying energy to the measurement station is current-modulated and thereby varied in accordance with the data to be transmitted. The variations in the current are controlled such that they cancel one another on average over time.
