Abstract
A sensor system includes a first sensor for sensing a parameter in a first sensing range and providing a first sensor signal indicative of the parameter. A second sensor senses the parameter in a second sensing range and provides a second sensor signal indicative of the parameter. The second sensing range is larger than the first sensing range and the first and second sensing ranges overlap in a transition overlap region. A sensor output device provides a sensor output signal based on the first and second sensor signals by blending components of the first and second sensor signals according to a blending function such that the sensor output signal is single valued, has no induced hysteresis and is continuously differentiable.
