Abstract: A method of designing a magnetic sensor that can easily accommodate various design conditions is provided. The method has: preparing magnetic sensors, wherein, for each magnetic sensor, magnetization directions of the first to fourth magnetically pinned layers form first to fourth angles θ1 to θ4 relative to a specific reference angle, respectively, and θ1=θ3, θ2=θ4, θ1≠θ2, and each magnetic sensor has a value of θ1−θ2 that is different from values of θ1−θ2 of remaining magnetic sensors, for each magnetic sensor, obtaining a relationship between an angular range of the magnetization direction of the first to fourth magnetically free layers and an output range of the magnetic sensor, wherein the angular range satisfies a specific linear relationship between the magnetization direction and the output of the magnetic sensor, and selecting a magnetic sensor that satisfies required conditions for the angular range and the output range from among the magnetic sensors.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor is provided that can attenuate a magnetic field in a direction that is perpendicular to the magnetic field detecting direction at a higher rate than the magnetic field in the magnetic field detecting direction.
Magnetic sensor 1 has: first soft magnetic layer 3; a pair of second soft magnetic layers 4A, 4B that is positioned at a location that is different from first soft magnetic layer 3 in the Z direction of first soft magnetic layer 3; and magnetic field detecting element 2 that is positioned between first soft magnetic layer 3 and second soft magnetic layers 4A, 4B in the Z direction, wherein magnetic field detecting element 2 has a magnetic field detecting direction that is parallel to a direction in which the pair of second soft magnetic layers 4A, 4B is arranged. As viewed in the Z direction, second soft magnetic layers 4A, 4B are positioned on both sides of a center of first soft magnetic layer 3, and magnetic field detecting element 2 is positioned inside of a periphery of first soft magnetic layer 3.-

Abstract: In a magnetic sensor, first and second resistors are provided in a path that connects a power supply port and a first output port, and third and fourth resistors are provided in a path that connects a ground port and the first output port. In a direction parallel to an X direction, both of a distance between the first resistor and the second resistor and a distance between the third resistor and the fourth resistor are λ/2, and a distance between the first resistor and the third resistor is zero. A magnetization of a magnetization pinned layer in the first and fourth resistors contains a component in a −X direction. The magnetization of the magnetization pinned layer in the second and third resistors contains a component in the X direction.

Abstract: Magnetic sensor assembly 1 has first member 10 having first to third magnetic sensors 13A to 13C, and second member 20 having first to third magnets 22A to 22C. Second member 20 can be moved in X and Y directions and can be rotated about a Z axis relative to first member 10. Output of first to third magnetic sensors 13A to 13C monotonously changes. A change of the output of first magnetic sensor and a change of the output of second magnetic sensor are different from each other. First to third magnets are positioned on first to third straight lines L1 to L3. A first angle that is formed between first straight line L1 and X axis, a second angle that is formed between second straight line L2 and X axis, and a third angle that is formed between third straight line L3 and Y axis are same.
