Magnetic Angle Position Sensor

摘要

A method and an apparatus is claimed, involving measuring magnetic field components (Bx, By, Bz) associated with magnets (120, 122) contained in a magnetic angle position sensor (100) by means of a sensing device (130); identifying a first and a second angle based on the measured magnetic field components, the first angle representing an angular position associated with a first magnet (120) and the second angle representing an angular position associated with a second magnet (122); and identifying positions of the first and second magnets based on the identified first and second angles.
