Method for calibrating an angle sensor and navigation system having an angle sensor

摘要

A method for calibrating an angle sensor ascertains an output signal for a zero point and measures an associated operating temperature. The output signal and a reference signal stored for the operating temperature are used to form a new reference signal. A navigation system equipped with a temperature sensor for measuring the operating temperature of the angle sensor and with a memory for storing reference signals is also provided. The calibration method and the navigation system substantially eliminate angle sensor measurement errors attributed to temperature influences.
