METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR DETERMINING THE TRANSVERSE SENSITIVITY OF MAGNETIC FIELD SENSORS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and to a sensor arrangement for determining the transverse sensitivity of a magnetic field sensor or an arrangement of magnetic field sensors. The sensor, or the arrangement of sensors, has a defined direction of sensitivity here. In the method, one or more electrical conductors are applied to a substrate or integrated into the substrate in such a way that they generate a magnetic field at the location of the respective magnetic field sensor, of which magnetic field only one magnetic field component, which is perpendicular to the defined direction of sensitivity, contributes to a measurement signal or combined measurement signal of the magnetic field sensor or of the arrangement of magnetic field sensors. Therefore, the transverse sensitivity of the magnetic field sensor or of the arrangement of magnetic field sensors can be obtained by measuring this measurement signal.
