Abstract: A magnetic sensor module includes an axially polarized back bias magnet having a magnet body that radially extends from an inner sidewall to an outer sidewall and a bore that defines the inner sidewall. The axially polarized back bias magnet generates a radial bias magnetic in-plane field about a magnetization axis of the axially polarized back bias magnet in a sensor plane. The magnetic field has a magnetic flux density of substantially zero along the extension of the magnetization axis and along a perimeter of a zero-field closed loop located in the sensor plane. The magnetic sensor module includes a magnetic sensor including a plurality of sensor elements arranged in the sensor plane at locations where the radial bias magnetic in-plane field has the magnetic flux density of substantially zero, including at least two sensor elements being arranged on the perimeter of the zero-field closed loop.

Abstract: The described techniques address the issues associated with conventional OoS sensor systems by mounting a magnetized ring onto a rotatable shaft for which an angular position is to be measured. Specific sensor configurations are disclosed regarding each magnetic sensor's position with respect to one another and each magnetic sensor's position with respect to the rotatable shaft. The described configurations provide a stray-field robust solution due to the specific magnetic sensor configurations such that, when stray fields are present, pairs of magnetic sensors are exposed to essentially the same stray field components, which thus cancel one another. Thus, the angle of the rotatable shaft as a function of the measured strength of the magnetic field components at any time instant can be calculated even in the present of stray magnetic fields.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a magnetic angle sensor module having first magnetic polewheel comprising a first number of poles and a second magnetic polewheel comprising a second number of poles greater than the first number. First and second magneto-resistive sensors are located around the first polewheel at a first angular position and a second angular position, respectively. The first and second magneto-resistive sensors collectively generate sensor signals corresponding to a measured angle of the first polewheel, while the third magneto-resistive sensor generates a third sensor signal corresponding to a measured angle of the second polewheel. A signal processor receives the first and third sensor signals and operates an algorithm that determines a position within a signal curve of the second polewheel from the first sensor signal and that determines an enhanced angle from the position within the signal curve and the third sensor signal.
