Abstract:
1. A magnetoresistive sensor system, comprising: a plurality of magnetoresistive sensing components arranged in an array, wherein each magnetoresistive sensing component among said plurality of sensing components is spaced irregular from one another in order to optimize the performance of said array and meet a requirement of a particular magnetoresistive sensing application thereof, wherein the irregular spacing includes three or more different spacings between the plurality of magnetoresistive sensing components including a first spacing between a first magnetoresistive sensing component and a second magnetoresistive sensing component, a second spacing between the second magnetoresistive sensing component and a third magnetoresistive sensing component, and a third spacing between the third magnetoresistive sensing component and a fourth magnetoresistive sensing component; and a plurality of chip carriers, wherein each chip carrier among said plurality of chip carriers is associated with a respective magnetoresistive component among said plurality of magnetoresistive components.
