An AMR sensor, comprises at least first and second AMR sensor elements to which opposite bias fields are applied. The first and second AMR sensor element outputs are combined to derive a sensor response which is substantially anti-symmetric in the region close to zero external magnetic field. This arrangement shifts the zero detection point of the AMR sensor elements away from a maximum of the response curve, so that sensitivity in proximity to a zero input field is obtained. To overcome the problem that the response is not anti-symmetric, the signals from (at least) two sensor elements are combined.
