    摘要: A magnetic field sensor responsive to a movement of a target object can include a plurality of magnetoresistance elements arranged in a line and having a span according to y(1−1/x), where y is equal a full spatial period of the target object and where x is equal to a total quantity of magnetoresistance elements in the plurality of magnetoresistance elements. The plurality of magnetic field sensing elements is operable to generate a signal that is substantially not responsive to the movement of the target object but is responsive to stray external magnetic fields.

    摘要: In one aspect, an angle sensor includes a first linear sensor and a second linear sensor. A first magnetic-field direction of a target magnet measured by the first linear sensor is substantially equal to a second magnetic-field direction of the target magnet measured by the second linear sensor. The first linear sensor, the second linear sensor and the target magnet are on an axis. The angle sensor determines an angle of a magnetic field.

    摘要: In one aspect, a bridge includes a first magnetoresistance element having a first reference angle, a second magnetoresistance element in series with the first magnetoresistance element and having a second reference angle, a third magnetoresistance element in parallel with the first magnetoresistance element and having the first reference angle and a fourth magnetoresistance element in series with the third magnetoresistance element and having the second reference angle. An output of the bridge has a linear response over a range of horizontal magnetic field values not centered about a zero value and a reference angle indicates an angle the magnetoresistance element is most sensitive to changes in a magnetic field.
