    摘要: In one general aspect, a system includes a material including a surface, and a magnetic sensor configured to sense a first component and a second component of a magnetic field. The first component of the magnetic field may be orthogonal to the second component of the magnetic field. The magnetic sensor may include a first sense element included on a first angled surface sloping in a first direction relative to the surface of the material, a second sense element included on a second angled surface sloping in the first direction, and a third angled surface sloping in a second direction different from the first direction where the third angled surface can be disposed between the first angled surface and the second angled surface and can exclude a sense element.

    摘要: This document discusses, among other things, a first magnetic sensor configured to sense first and second components of a magnetic field in respective, orthogonal directions, using first, second, third, and fourth sense elements, each on an angled surface sloped with respect to a surface, each including respective first, second, third, and fourth longitudinal axes, each parallel to each other. Further, a second magnetic sensor on the same surface can sense second and third components of a magnetic field in respective, orthogonal directions, using first, second, third, and fourth sense elements, each on an angled surface sloped with respect to the first surface, each including respective first, second, third, and fourth longitudinal axes, each parallel to each other and orthogonal to the longitudinal axes of the first magnetic sensor.
