A rotating element is mounted in a base body for rotation about an axis of rotation. An excitation circuit generates an excitation signal. A divider circuit divides the excitation signal into a base signal supplied to an evaluation circuit and into an outgoing signal supplied to a transceiving antenna. A waveguide circulates in an annular manner about the axis of rotation. The rotating element comprises a termination element protruding into the waveguide and has a reflective side. The transceiving antenna emits an electromagnetic signal into the waveguide propagating in two directions which is reflected from the reflective side and returned to and received by the transceiving antenna which generates in response a receiving signal supplied to the evaluation circuit which determines a position of rotation of the rotating element in relation to a reference position of rotation by evaluating the base signal and receiving signal in a resolution region.
