Device and system for determining a position of a magnetic source, or an orientation of a uniform magnetic field

A position sensor system comprising:

• a magnetic source;
• a sensor device, wherein the sensor device comprises:
• a substrate comprising a plurality of at least two magnetic sensors configured to provide a plurality of at least two sensor signals;
• a signal combiner (MUX, Σ) configured to combine sensor signals (h1, h2, h3, h4) into a combined waveform (1231;
• 1331;
• 1431);
• and,
• a processing circuit configured to extract a position of the magnetic source or an orientation of a magnetic field from the combined waveform (1231;
• 1331;
• 1431);
• wherein
• the signal combiner (MUX, Σ) is configured to generate the combined waveform (1231;
• 1331;
• 1431), according to a timing scheme corresponding to an arrangement of the sensors, by including at least one portion of the sensor signals (h1, h2, h3, h4) during respective predefined time durations (Δt11 to Δt44);
• wherein the predefined time durations (Δt11 to Δt44) correspond to the arrangement of the sensors, and are determined during a calibration procedure;
• and
• wherein at least two of said predefined time durations (Δt11 to Δt44) have a different value.
