  • Publication number: 20230016677
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for measurement by means of an ultrasonic sensor system in an interfering environment, for example in a magnetic field, for a vehicle, the method comprising the following method steps: emitting, by means of an ultrasonic sensor system, ultrasound with at least one frequency range (100); receiving, by means of an ultrasonic sensor system, an echo (200) produced by the ultrasound; outputting, by means of an ultrasonic sensor system, a signal corresponding to the echo to a control system (300); detecting, by means of a detection system, noise of the signal (400); determining, by means of the control system, whether there is interference in the at least one frequency range, on the basis of the noise of the signal (500); and, if interference is determined, emitting, by means of the ultrasonic sensor system, ultrasound with at least one frequency range (600) for which no interference is determined.
