  • Patent number: 6505513
    Abstract: In an arrangement for measuring the rotational velocity of a rotatable wheel (21) at or in a vehicle (23) by means of a sensor (1) which is manufactured by a thin-film technology, which comprises magnetoresistive sensor elements (11, 12, 13, 14), and which measures a magnetic field modulated by means of a toothed structure (22) of the wheel (21) in dependence on the rotational velocity thereof, an optimized guidance of interference currents which may be induced through radiation from electromagnetic fields is achieved in that an electrically conducting layer (5) is provided at the outside of the sensor (1), which layer (5) reduces a capacitive coupling between the wheel (21) and the sensor elements (11, 12, 13, 14) which would occur without said layer (5), and which layer (5) in its turn is capacitively coupled to the wheel (21), in that the electrically conducting layer (5), which is made of a metal material, is manufactured by a thin-film technique at least at one side of the sensor (1) by means of layer d
