    摘要: The contactless magneto-resistive angle sensing device (1) includes two sensor components (10,11) oriented at a fixed angle relative to each other, a controllable power supply (PW) to heat and maintain the sensor components (10,11) at different temperatures, a magnet (MG) producing a magnetic field (B) in which the sensor components are arranged and an evaluating device (12) to receive output signals (U1,U2) from the sensor components (10,11). Each sensor component (10,11) includes magneto-resistive resistors (MR) connected in a respective bridge (B1,B2) having input terminals (I1,I1';I2,I2') for supply of current and output terminals (O1,O1';O2,O2') for the output signal (U1,U2). In a rotating magnetic field the evaluating device (12) analyzes the output signals (U1,U2) as a function of field angle and temperature to determine a reference angle at which the output signals of the angle sensing device have a minimum temperature dependence and stores the reference angle as a zero point for subsequent angular measurements. The sensor components are then mounted on a rotatable part whose angular position is to be subsequently measured at an angular position in relation to a stationary magnetic corresponding to the reference angle.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a GMR bridge detector as well as the bridge detector itself in which magnetoresistive resistors are interconnected in the form of a bridge to detect a magnetic field. The resistors consist of a material that exhibits the giant magnetoresistive ratio (GMR) effect. The magnetoresistive sensitivity of the individual resistors is produced through annealing. The annealing of the resistors takes place through selective feeding of a current that is sufficient for reaching the temperature required for annealing into the bridge connections. Depending on the wiring of the bridge connections, the resistors are provided with the property necessary for the GMR effect either singly or in pairs. As the material for the resistors, in particular, a material of the class of discontinuous multilayer materials, particularly NiFe/Ag, is used in which the GMR property is produced through single annealing at a specific temperature.
