Abstract

A method of transmitting data from a sensor (1) to a receiver (4) in which each original data word is split in positional fashion into at least two separate short data words (MSN, LSN). The separate short data words (MSN, LSN) are each converted by digital-to-analog conversion (15) into an analog pseudosignal and transmitted in a multiplex mode via an output of the sensor and a transmission path (3) to the receiver (4). In the receiver, the analog pseudosignals are converted back into short data words (MSN, LSM) and joined together in correct bit sequence by means of an analog-to-digital converter (15), so that the resulting data word corresponds to the original word.
