Abstract:
A sensor system utilizing adaptively selected carrier frequencies is disclosed. The system includes a system bus, a bus master, and a sensor. The system bus is configured to transfer power and data. The bus master is coupled to the system bus and is configured to provide power to the bus and receive data from the bus. The sensor is coupled to the system bus and is configured to transfer data on the bus using an adaptively selected carrier frequency.
Abstract:
In one example, a system includes one or more waveguides configured to guide radio frequency (RF) signals, a controller comprising a transmitter configured to output RF signals representing a control signal via the one or more waveguides, and a power module. In this example, the power module includes a receiver configured to receive the RF signals representing the control signal from the controller via the one or more waveguides, and a driver configured to output a power signal to a load based on the control signal.
Abstract:
A sensor device is provided with a magnetic field sensitive element being positioned in a magnetic field of a magnet. The magnet is positioned on an end face of a shaft. The magnetic field sensitive element is configured to sense an orientation angle of the magnetic field in the range between 0° and 360°. The shaft is one of a shaft of a transmission of a vehicle or a shaft of a brushless DC motor or a shaft of a wheel axle of a vehicle.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate to a sensor device including a layer stack 600, the layer stack 600 including at least ferromagnetic and non-magnetic layers formed on a common substrate 620. The sensor device 600 further includes at least a first magneto-resistive sensor element 711 provided by a first section 611 of the layer stack 600. The first magneto-resistive sensor element 711 herein is configured to generate a first signal. The sensor device 600 also includes a second magneto-resistive sensor element 712 provided by a second section 612 of the layer stack 610. The second magneto-resistive sensor element 712 herein is configured to generate a second signal for verifying the first signal.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate to an apparatus comprising a first measurement bridge circuit. The first measurement bridge circuit comprises a first half bridge for providing a first half bridge signal in response to a quantity to be measured and a second half bridge for providing a second half bridge signal in response to the quantity. The apparatus further comprises a second measurement bridge circuit. The second measurement bridge circuit comprises a third half bridge for providing a third half bridge signal in response to the quantity and a fourth half bridge for providing a fourth half bridge signal in response to the quantity. The apparatus also comprises an error detector. The error detector is configured to determine an error signal indicative of an error of the measurement of the quantity based on a combination of the first, the second, the third and the fourth half bridge signal.
