US Patent 12072211 Apparatuses and methods for position detection

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for position detection, including a multipole magnet with pole pairs extending along a multipole extension direction, a magnetoresistive sensor including a first sensor bridge sensitive for a first in-plane magnetic field component and a second sensor bridge sensitive for a second in-plane magnetic field component, wherein the first sensor bridge and the second sensor bridge are arranged in-plane and are spaced apart along a sensor axis, wherein the multipole extension direction and the sensor axis are rotated by a rotation angle larger than 20° and less than 70° to each other.
