  • Gas concentration sensor, motor vehicle having a gas concentration sensor, and method for measuring gas concentration
    Patent number: 9404892
    Abstract: A motor vehicle having a gas concentration sensor and a method for measuring gas concentration using the gas concentration sensor the gas concentration sensor having a sound transmitter, a sound receiver and a control device by which a phase shift between the sound signal transmitted by the sound transmitter and a sound signal received by the sound receiver can be controlled to a predefinable phase shift. A change in a composition of a gas mixture can be detected by an analysis unit on the basis of a change in frequency of the sound signal relative to a frequency of a reference sound signal.
