Abstract: A method for measuring the rotation speed of a wheel including the steps of: acquiring an analog measurement signal (Sma) generated by a magnetic tachometer and containing a useful signal the frequency of which is representative of the rotation speed of the wheel; digitizing in real-time the analog measurement signal (Sma) in order to obtain a time-dependent digital measurement signal (Smnt); calculating a Fourier transform of the time-dependent digital measurement signal (Smnt) in order to obtain a frequency-dependent digital measurement signal (Smnf); and carrying out a frequency analysis in order to identify by a search for peaks a useful spectral line (16) so as to obtain the frequency of the useful signal and therefore the rotation speed of the wheel.
