  • Method of determining an absolute angle of a magnetic field
    Patent number: 11467225
    Abstract: A method of determining an absolute angle of a magnetic field includes receiving a first digital measurement value Bx of a first magnetic field component indicating intensity of the magnetic field along a first axis; receiving a second digital measurement value Bz of a second magnetic field component indicating the intensity of the magnetic field along a second axis, orthogonal to the first axis; determining absolute values for the first and second magnetic field components; and determining the angle of the magnetic field with respect to the first or second axis. The angle is determined so that the angle is derivable from the value of arcsin of Bz or of its approximation, when the absolute value of Bz? the absolute value of Bx, and derivable from the value of arccos of Bx or of its approximation, when the absolute value of Bz> the absolute value of Bx.
