Claim 0:
1. A camshaft toothed wheel for a camshaft position sensor, the camshaft toothed wheel comprising:
a circular body including two axial end faces and an outer periphery; and
a series of teeth arranged along the outer periphery, the series of teeth comprising eight teeth separated from each other via a respective recessed part, each tooth including a rising edge and a falling edge with respect to a direction of rotation of the camshaft toothed wheel,
wherein the rising edge of each tooth or the falling edge of each tooth is a first edge, each first edge being evenly distributed about the outer periphery,
wherein an angular length of only a first recessed part of the respective recessed parts is less than arctan(Llow/R)°CAM, in which R is a maximum radius of the camshaft toothed wheel including the series of teeth expressed in mm, and Llow is a minimum distance between the falling edge and the rising edge of adjacent teeth required for detection of the respective recessed part via the camshaft position sensor, and
wherein an angular length of only a first tooth of the series of teeth is less than arctan(Lhigh/R)°CAM, in which Lhigh is a minimum distance between the rising edge and the falling edge of a single tooth required for detection of the single tooth via the camshaft position sensor.
