    摘要: An arrangement for a magnetoresistive sensor chip has two Wheatstone brid to determine the sine and cosine of the angle formed between a chip edge and the direction of the magnetic field. All resistances of the bridges consist of a plurality of magnetoresistive laminated elements (2) with current connections made of highly conductive thin films with parallel edges. When the resistances of a bridge are directly electrically interconnected, these edges form angles (5) of 90.degree. each. The parallel edges of the corresponding resistances of the sine and cosine bridges are mutually offset by 45.degree.. The magnetoresistive laminated elements (2) are distributed on the chip surface to reduce angle measurement errors to a minimum. Also disclosed are arrangements that allow the sensor chips to be used for measuring angles and positions.

    摘要: To measure magnetic field gradients is difficult because sensor elements available for this have only a limited linearity range due to their sensitivity which is strongly dependent on the temperature and on auxiliary-field magnetic fields and furthermore this sensitivity has a significant sample dispersion. Whereas now the arrangement of a a Wheatstone bridge with magnetoresistive resistors is such that on the one hand two symmetrical areas are provided, in each area of which a resistor of a bridge branch is arranged, and that moveover all other building elements are also designed with a high degree of symmetry. With this a symmetrical temperature gradient is created in the sensor chip, which gradient does not influence the output signal of the bridge. A temperature-dependent zero-point drift does also not exist. The changeable resistor needed for trimming is as the single singular structural part directly arranged on the central axis and also does not interfere with the measurement. The arrangement is particularly suited for the potential-free measurement of the current intensities.

    摘要: A sensor assembly for measuring current I.sub.o is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes four magnetoresistive resistors (1, 2, 3, 4) arranged to form a Wheatstone bridge. The bridge is disposed over a U shaped conductor 14. The resistors are arranged so that two resistors (1,2) forming one bridge branch are disposed over one leg of the conductor and the two resistors (3,4) forming the other bridge branch are disposed over the other leg of the conductor. Each resistor is formed out of a number of magnetoresistive strips (1', 2', 3', 4'). The magnetoresistive strips forming the individual bridge branch resistors are interleaved so as to ensure the resistors forming each bridge branch have substantially the same temperature. When current I.sub.o is applied to the conductor, the equal and opposite magnetic fields that develop around the individual bridge branches cause the Wheatstone bridge to produce a signal U.sub.a that is a function of the current.

    摘要: Described is a sensor based on the magnetoresistive effect and integrated into the thin-film arrangement of a remagnetization line in the form of a meander. In an adaptation to this meandering structure, the magnetoresistive film strips are provided in regions with alternating positive- and negative-inclined Barber pole structures. When periodic remagnetization of the regions takes place, a drift-free AC voltage is obtained as a sensor output signal. This lack of drift is the presupposition for the use of the magnetic field sensor for precise measurement of weak magnetic fields.

    摘要: Disclosed is an arrangement for high-resolution determination of positions on linear or circular ferromagnetic measuring rods (3) that have a teeth structure, said arrangement providing reliable results in an environment affected by magnetic interference. For this purpose, a magnetic field sensor (1) is placed at the point where the field of a permanent magnet (4) is at a maximum and is mounted across from the measuring rod (3) in such a way that the soft magnetic material of the measuring rod causes the field to strengthen further. The obtained field strength is sufficient to be able to use multilayer GMR sensors in which the resistance changes by more than 40 percent, thus allowing a high signal amplitude to be used for greater position resolution.

    摘要: In at least one measuring rod of the length measurement system the direction of magnetization lies in the plane of its cross-section which is perpendicular to the direction of measurement and forms a magnetization pattern. In the simplest case the magnetization of the cross-section is homogeneous. As one advances in the direction of measurement the magnetization pattern is increasingly rotated in relation to the starting end of the measuring rod. This magnetization results in a magnetic field whose direction is also continuously rotated as one advances in the direction of measurement. By means of at least one magnetic field sensor which responds to the direction of the magnetic field the prevailing field angle for each position is determined and can be clearly assigned to the position for a multitude of different variants of the length measurement system.
