A sensor for measuring a magnetic field includes a substrate, four magnetic elements arranged in a bridge configuration on the substrate, a first bridge portion. A first element and a second element are connected in series, a second bridge portion, and a third element and a fourth element are connected in series, being situated between a first contact and a second contact. The first bridge portion includes an electrical shunt resistor, which is arranged parallel to the first magnetic element of the bridge. In order to compensate for offset voltage and offset voltage drift in the output voltage of the bridge configuration, the temperature coefficient of the shunt resistor compensates for the variation of the temperature coefficients of the magnetic elements in the bridge.
