Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9429740A1] A sensor based on the magnetoresistive effect contains a meander-shaped magnetic reversal conductor (6) integrated into the thin layer arrangement. The magnetoresistive layer strips are provided with areas (1) with alternatively positive and negative, inclined barber pole structures (3) adapted to the meandrous structure of the conductor. The current required to reverse the magnetisation of the areas (1) is particularly weak. By periodically reversing the magnetisation of the areas (1), a drift-free alternating voltage is obtained as output signal of the sensor. This freedom from drift is a precondition for using the magnetic field sensor to accurately measure weak magnetic fields.
