    Abstract: A magnetic sensor module includes an axially polarized back-bias magnet having a body that radially extends from a magnet center axis and a bore extending along the magnet center axis. The magnet generates a radial bias magnetic field about a magnetization axis in a sensor plane. The magnetic field has a magnetic flux density of substantially zero along a perimeter of a zero-field closed loop located in the sensor plane. The magnetic sensor module includes a shim polepiece mechanically coupled to an end of the axially polarized back-bias magnet. The shim polepiece includes a second bore centered on a polepiece center axis that is aligned with the magnet center axis. The second bore extends through the shim polepiece along the polepiece center axis.

    Abstract: A magnetic sensor module includes an axially polarized back bias magnet having a body that radially extends from an inner sidewall to an outer sidewall and a bore that defines the inner sidewall. The magnet generates a radially symmetric bias magnetic in-plane field about a center axis in a sensor plane. The magnetic field has a magnetic flux density of substantially zero along the extension of the center axis and at a circumference of a zero-field circle located in the sensor plane, where the circumference of the zero-field circle vertically overlaps with the magnet body in a plan view. The magnetic sensor module includes a magnetic sensor including at least three sensor elements arranged in the sensor plane at locations where the radially symmetric bias magnetic in-plane field has a magnetic flux density of substantially zero, including at least two sensor elements being arranged on the circumference of the zero-field circle.

    Abstract: An absolute position measurement system includes a multipole magnet comprising alternating magnetic poles extending along a multipole extension direction, the alternating magnetic poles generating a magnetic field. A magnetic sensor includes a first sensor element arrangement configured to generate a first signal in response to a first magnetic field component and a second sensor element arrangement configured to generate a second signal in response to a second magnetic field component. The absolute position measurement system is configured, as a position of the magnetic sensor relative to the multipole magnet changes, to generate a first oscillating sensor signal with decreasing first signal amplitude and to generate a second oscillating sensor signal with decreasing second signal amplitude based on the first and second signals. A processing circuit is configured to calculate an absolute position of the magnetic sensor based on the first oscillating sensor signal and the second oscillating sensor signal.
