    摘要: Embodiments relate to xMR sensors, including giant magnetoresistive (GMR), tunneling magnetoresistive (TMR) or anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR), and the configuration of xMR strips within xMR sensors. In an embodiment, an xMR strip includes a plurality of differently sized and/or differently oriented serially connected portions. In another embodiment, an xMR strip includes a varying width or other characteristic. Such configurations can address discontinuities associated with conventional xMR sensors and improve xMR sensor performance.

    摘要: A magnetic encoder element for use in a position measurement system including a magnetic field sensor for measuring position along a first direction is disclosed. The encoder element includes at least one first track that includes a material providing a magnetic pattern along the first direction, the magnetic pattern being formed by a remanent magnetization vector that has a variable magnitude dependent on a position along the first direction. The gradient of the remanent magnetization vector is such that a resulting magnetic field in a corridor above the first track and at a predefined distance above the plane includes a field component perpendicular to the first direction that does not change its sign along the first direction.
