Abstract

A magnetic sensor module includes an axially polarized back bias magnet having a magnet body that radially extends from an inner sidewall to an outer sidewall and a bore that defines the inner sidewall. The axially polarized back bias magnet generates a radial bias magnetic in-plane field about a magnetization axis of the axially polarized back bias magnet in a sensor plane. The magnetic field has a magnetic flux density of substantially zero along the extension of the magnetization axis and along a perimeter of a zero-field closed loop located in the sensor plane. The magnetic sensor module includes a magnetic sensor including a plurality of sensor elements arranged in the sensor plane at locations where the radial bias magnetic in-plane field has the magnetic flux density of substantially zero, including at least two sensor elements being arranged on the perimeter of the zero-field closed loop.
