Patent ID: 6943544

Claim:
An angle sensor comprising: two bridge circuits at which a pair of voltage values (U 1 , U 2 ) is measurable during an angle measurement, which pair of voltage values is used together with at least one correction value for the computation of an angle, and an analysis circuit for computing the at least one correction value from several of the pairs of voltage values (U 1 , U 2 ), which pairs of voltage values lie on the periphery of a circle or an ellipse when respectively plotted against each other, and which at least one correction value is derived from a center point computation of the circle or the ellipse, wherein the pairs of voltage values (U 1 , U 2 ) used for the computation of the correction value lie in a mechanical angle range of 10° on the periphery of the circle or ellipse; and wherein a corrective adjustment to the angle sensor by the correction value occurs during said angle measurement by said angle sensor.
