Abstract

A method for calibrating a magnetic angle sensor includes measuring, for a plurality of angle positions within a 360° rotation of a measurement object, in each case a first sensor signal for a first magnetic field component and a second sensor signal for a second magnetic field component orthogonal to the first magnetic field component, wherein the first and second sensor signals are in each case 360° periodic and representable as a Fourier series with a Fourier component of a fundamental and a Fourier component of a harmonic; determining the Fourier component of the harmonic for the first and second sensor signals based on a difference between a trajectory defined by the measured first and second sensor signals and a circular path; and correcting the angle positions based on the Fourier component of the harmonic determined for the first and second sensor signals.
