    Abstract: Rotational angle sensor systems and methods are provided for detecting an angular position of a movable structure. A system may include a movable structure, a rotating member, a magnet and an angular sensor. The movable structure may be configured to rotate about an axis of rotation between a first rotational position and a second rotational position. A rotating member may be coupled to the movable structure and configured to rotate about the axis of rotation based on movement of the movable structure such that rotational positions of the rotating member and the movable structure correspond to one another. A magnet may have a magnetic field pattern with a magnetic field orientation and an angle sensor may be configured to detect the magnetic field pattern and generate one or more signals, based on the magnetic field orientation, corresponding to the rotational position of the movable structure.

    Abstract: An apparatus for providing an error signal for a control unit, the error signal indicating a malfunction of a sensor unit. The apparatus includes an input module configured to receive a sensor signal from the sensor unit, the sensor signal being a periodic signal between an upper level and a lower level of a physical quantity. Further, the apparatus includes a determination module configured to determine the malfunction of the sensor unit and an output module configured to provide the error signal indicating the malfunction for the control unit. The error signal comprises a predetermined level of the physical quantity which differs from the upper level and from the lower level.
