The sensor system and method of operating a sensor system

The invention relates to a sensor system with a sensor resonance circuit (10), the quality (Qs) in dependence on a temperature of an ambient environment of the sensor oscillating circuit (10), and an evaluation device (18, 32) having a Auswerteschwingkreis (18), which with respect to the sensor resonant circuit (10) is arranged such that an inductive coupling (22) (10) and the Auswerteschwingkreis (18) is present between the sensor oscillating circuit, wherein the evaluation device (18, 32) is adapted for an active exciting the Auswerteschwingkreises (18) to detect energy transfer from the excited active Auswerteschwingkreis (18) to the sensor resonant circuit (10) and set in consideration of the energy transfer detected first information related to the temperature of the ambient environment of the sensor oscillating circuit (10). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of operating a sensor system.
