Linear bridge having nonlinear elements for operation in high magnetic field intensities
Abstract:
In one aspect, a bridge includes a first magnetoresistance element having a first reference angle; a second magnetoresistance element in series with the first magnetoresistance element and having a second reference angle; a third magnetoresistance element in parallel with the first magnetoresistance element and having the first reference angle; and a fourth magnetoresistance element in series with the third magnetoresistance element and having the second reference angle. An output of the bridge has a linear response over a range of horizontal magnetic field values having non-zero values and the range of horizontal magnetic field intensity values are associated with vertical magnetic field intensity values having zero Oersted (Oe) values. A reference angle indicates an angle the magnetoresistance element is most sensitive to changes in a magnetic field.
