Off-axis magnetic field sensor

Abstract

A sensor assembly comprising a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) housing that is configured horizontally or in parallel with a planar surface of a magnet. The PCBA housing comprises a PCBA that is deposed within a cavity of the PCBA housing. The PCBA comprises a pair of magnetic field sensors that (i) are oriented horizontally with respect to the planar surface of the magnet and (ii) comprises a first magnetic field sensor of the pair of magnetic field sensors that is configured a predetermined distance from a second magnetic field sensor of the pair of magnetic field sensors, wherein the pair of magnetic field sensors are configured to generate a respective pair of electrical signals that comprise a phase-shift between the respective pair of electrical signals proportional to the predetermined distance.
