Abstract: A method for determining as a function of time the angle of rotation of a crankshaft by estimating the position of missing teeth on a target wheel is disclosed which has application to engine control. A sensor acquires, as a function of time, a periodic signal comprising a pulsating waveform, each pulse indicating the passage of a tooth past this sensor.
