a first rotational angle sensor and a second rotational angle sensor, the first and second rotational angle sensors being of different types;
a rotor;
a stator ( 1 ),
wherein the first rotational angle sensor having an antenna comprised by the stator, and having a modulator comprised by the rotor, and
wherein the second rotational angle sensor having a magnet and at least one of a magnetoresistive element and a hall sensor comprised by the stator,
wherein the rotor comprises the modulator and the magnet.
2. The sensor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor has a shaft at one end of which the magnet is arranged.
3. The sensor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein between the antenna and the modulator of the first rotational sensor, and the magnetoresistive element or hall sensor and the magnet of the second rotational sensor, there is a zone (B) to prevent mutual disturbances between the first rotational angle sensor and the second rotational angle sensor.
4. The sensor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the modulator and the shaft are interdependant.
5. The sensor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the stator has at least one electrical component for supplying power to elements of the first and/or second rotation angle sensor and/or for evaluating a signal from the antenna and the magnetoresistive element or hall sensor.
6. The sensor arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the stator has a printed circuit board on which the antenna, the magnetoresistive element or hall sensor and the at least one electrical component are arranged.
7. The sensor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetoresistive element or hall sensor lies in a projection in a direction of an axis of rotation within a circular disc concentric with the axis of rotation.
8. The sensor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the modulator lies in a projection in a direction of an axis of rotation within a circular ring concentric with the axis of rotation.
9. The sensor arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the circular disc lies within the circular ring and has an outer diameter which is smaller or equal than the inner diameter of the circular ring.
10. The sensor arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein at least one electrical component for supplying power to a second angle-of-rotation sensor and/or for evaluating a signal from the magnetoresistive element or hall sensor lies within the circular disc.
11. The sensor arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein at least one electrical component for supplying power to the first rotation angle sensor and/or second rotation angle sensor and/or for evaluating a signal from the antenna and/or the magnetoresistive element or hall sensor lies outside the annular ring.
