    摘要: The invention relates to a communication device 8 for wirelessly communicating with a sensor 4. The communication device 8 comprises a receiver for receiving signals, an amplifier for amplifying the received signals, a transmitter for transmitting signals, and a controller. The controller is operable in a first mode in which signal strength values are determined over time, which are indicative of a strength of an amplified received signal, and in a second mode in which signal transmission and reception are controlled based on the determined signal strength values. The determined signal strength values can be indicative of, for instance, a saturation of the amplifier caused by a transmission operation of another, neighboring communication device such that, by considering the determined signal strength values, the transmission carried out by the communication device 8 can be synchronized with the corresponding operation of the neighboring communication device. This can lead to reduced disturbances.
