Abstract: A calibration tool for calibrating a magnetic sensor comprises a cuboid-shaped housing and one or more permanent magnets. The housing is configured to provide six alignment planes. The alignment planes lying opposite to each other extend parallel to each other and the alignment planes lying adjacent to each other include an angle of 90°. The housing has one or more holes allowing to position a magnetic sensor in a working volume located in the center of the housing. The housing may have six sidewalls. One or more of the sidewalls may include one or more adjustable element protruding from the respective sidewall. The adjustable elements may be screws. Permanent magnets of different materials having different temperature coefficients may be used to eliminate the temperature dependence of the magnetic field in the working volume.

Abstract: The invention concerns an angle sensor and a method of measuring an angle of a magnetic field. The angle sensor is configured to measure a direction of a magnetic field in a plane, comprising a first magnetic field sensor having a first sensitivity direction and delivering a first voltage, a second magnetic field sensor having a second sensitivity direction and delivering a second voltage, a first current source supplying a first biasing current to the first magnetic field sensor, a second current source supplying a second biasing current to the second magnetic field sensor (2), and electronic circuitry configured to adjust the first biasing current and the second biasing current in such a manner that a sum of the first voltage and the second voltage equals 0.
