In a signal processor for use in an electronic compass for controlling an offset voltage generated in an analog signal process and automatically controlling an amplification gain, an analog signal processor 52 amplifies signals Sx and Sy, and controls an offset voltage and amplitude A generated during an amplification process. An analog/digital (AD) converter 53 converts analog signals Vadcx and Vadcy from the analog signal processor 52 into a digital signal. A digital signal processor 54 measures a maximum value Vadc—max and a minimum value Vadc—min associated with the digital signal from the AD converter 53, and outputs, to the analog signal processor 52, an offset control signal Soc and a gain control signal Sgc based on the maximum value Vadc—max and minimum value Vadc—min. The signal processor can maintain levels of signals, to be inputted into the AD converter, to be within a reference voltage range.

An automatic calibration method for use in an electronic compass. Using the automatic calibration method, the electronic compass automatically calculates and corrects offset and scale values of a geomagnetic signal by detecting one rotation of a geomagnetic axis during a predetermined period of time. The electronic compass calculates an azimuth angle upon receiving geomagnetic data from the geomagnetic sensor, and finds maximum and minimum values of sensor signals of individual axes of the geomagnetic sensor using the received geomagnetic data such that it can correct or calibrate deviation of the azimuth angle. When a time consumed for calibration is the same or shorter than a maximum calibration effective time, the electronic compass determines whether a current state of the detected entry signal indicates a predetermined steady-state flow. If the current state indicates the steady-state flow, at the same time a signal indicative of one rotation of the geomagnetic sensor is received, and the time consumed for calibration is longer than a predetermined minimum calibration effective time, the electronic compass calculates offset and scale values using the maximum and minimum values and stores the calculated offset and scale values.

A method of finding a dip angle in a tilt-compensated electronic compass includes the steps of a) setting a predetermined azimuth angle indicative of a horizontal status of a geomagnetic sensor to a reference azimuth angle; b) if the compass is slightly tilted, stepwise-increasing a dip angle within a predetermined dip angle search range, and calculating azimuth angles associated with individual dip angles; c) comparing the calculated azimuth angles with the reference azimuth angle, and finding one azimuth angle, which is closest to the reference azimuth angle, among the calculated azimuth angles; and d) setting the dip angle applied to the closest azimuth angle to a specific dip angle associated with a corresponding azimuth angle, such that a more accurate azimuth angle can be detected by the on the basis of the calculated dip angle.

The present general inventive concept relates to a method of compensating tilt using a two-axis geomagnetic sensor and an acceleration sensor and an apparatus. Using the principle where a geomagnetic field value measured in a state where one axis of the two-axis geomagnetic sensor is set up vertically is identical to a Z-axis geomagnetic field value, the Z-axis geomagnetic field value can be evaluated by using two axes of the two-axis geomagnetic sensor. Accordingly, an azimuth angle can be easily calculated, so that the azimuth angle changed by tilt can be compensated. Therefore, there is an effect that a constant azimuth can be always output even though tilt occurs. In addition, when a module of the two-axis geomagnetic sensor and the acceleration sensor is used in a mobile equipment, the two-axis geomagnetic sensor can automatically measure geomagnetic field values of three axes by a simple motion where a user vertically sets up or rotates up and down the mobile equipment. Therefore, there is an effect that a constant azimuth angle can be always output by compensating the azimuth angle changed by tilt.
