Method for detecting a rail-bound wheel, in which, • in an inductive sensor arrangement installed in a rail-encompassing manner with a transmit coil and a receive coil, a receive signal is generated which represents a wheel influence, • a measurement signal which represents an interference is generated by a measurement coil, • the receive signal and the measurement signal are processed, wherein the processing takes place in a computer-assisted manner, in that • a modified receive signal and a modified measurement signal are generated, in which a useful frequency band, in which the receive signal lies, is suppressed within the measured bandwidth of the receive signal and the measurement signal, • the signal strengths of the modified receive signal and the modified measurement signal are adjusted to one another, • the interference in the adjusted receive signal is rectified or at least reduced by taking into consideration the adjusted measurement signal, characterised in that • the receive signal and the measurement signal, in order to suppress the useful frequency band in a signal adjustment path, each pass through a high-pass filter (340, 380) that is dimensioned such that the frequencies that can be generated by wheel influence are suppressed. • in an inductive sensor arrangement installed in a rail-encompassing manner with a transmit coil and a receive coil, a receive signal is generated which represents a wheel influence, • a measurement signal which represents an interference is generated by a measurement coil, • the receive signal and the measurement signal are processed, wherein the processing takes place in a computer-assisted manner, in that • a modified receive signal and a modified measurement signal are generated, in which a useful frequency band, in which the receive signal lies, is suppressed within the measured bandwidth of the receive signal and the measurement signal, • the signal strengths of the modified receive signal and the modified measurement signal are adjusted to one another, • the interference in the adjusted receive signal is rectified or at least reduced by taking into consideration the adjusted measurement signal, • a modified receive signal and a modified measurement signal are generated, in which a useful frequency band, in which the receive signal lies, is suppressed within the measured bandwidth of the receive signal and the measurement signal, • the signal strengths of the modified receive signal and the modified measurement signal are adjusted to one another, • the interference in the adjusted receive signal is rectified or at least reduced by taking into consideration the adjusted measurement signal, characterised in that • the receive signal and the measurement signal, in order to suppress the useful frequency band in a signal adjustment path, each pass through a high-pass filter (340, 380) that is dimensioned such that the frequencies that can be generated by wheel influence are suppressed. • the receive signal and the measurement signal, in order to suppress the useful frequency band in a signal adjustment path, each pass through a high-pass filter (340, 380) that is dimensioned such that the frequencies that can be generated by wheel influence are suppressed.
