In an arrangement comprising a magnetic field sensor which is effectively connected to a magnetic encoder which is arranged such that it can move with respect to the sensor and comprises magnetic poles with alternating polarity, wherein the sensor consists of at least two half-bridges which are in each case formed by two magnetoelectric elements, the electrical properties of which depend on the magnetic field strength, it is provided that the elements of each half-bridge have resistance/field strength characteristics which run in opposite directions and are arranged such that they are in phase with respect to the magnetic field, and that the spacing between the half-bridges corresponds to part of the pole pitch of the magnetic encoder.
