Patent ID: 8823371

Claim:
A sensor arrangement, comprising: a first, a second and a third magnetic field sensor that are arranged along a curved principal direction; a first combination means that is connected to the first and second magnetic field sensors and by means of which a first channel signal can be derived from signals of the first and second magnetic field sensors; a second combination means that is connected to the first, second and third magnetic field sensors and by means of which a second channel signal can be derived from signals of the first, second and third magnetic field sensors; and an evaluation unit that is connected to the first and second combination means and is set up to derive, as a function of the first and second channel signals, an end position of a magnetic source movable relative to the sensor arrangement, wherein the evaluation unit comprises a first and second comparison means that: compare the first and second channel signals to a first adjustable threshold value and a second adjustable threshold value, and generate, when the first channel signal is higher than the first adjustable threshold value and the second channel signal is higher than the second adjustable threshold value, an end position signal as a function of the comparison of the first and second channel signals to the first and second adjustable threshold values.
