Magnetic angle sensor device and method using the magnetic angle sensor device

A method comprising:

• providing a magnetic angle sensor device including a sensor array and an indication element, which is arranged to rotate about a rotational axis, wherein the indication element comprises a first section and a second section, wherein the first section is arranged on the inside of the second section, wherein the first section comprises a first arrangement with a plurality of first permanent magnetic sections and the second section comprises a second arrangement with at least a second permanent magnetic section, wherein each of the first permanent magnetic sections has a first magnetization pattern, wherein the first permanent magnetic sections of the first arrangement are arranged periodically in circumferential direction with respect to the rotational axis, so that the first arrangement provides a multi-pole magnetic field in an arrangement area, wherein the second permanent magnetic section has a second magnetization pattern, so that the second arrangement provides a homogenous magnetic field in the arrangement area, wherein the multi-pole magnetic field and the dipole magnetic field interact in the arrangement area to an overall magnetic field, and wherein the sensor array is arranged in the arrangement area to detect the overall magnetic field and is embodied to provide at least an information in response to a circumferential orientation of the indication element.
• connecting the rotation element to the indication element,
• providing a sensor signal from the sensor array,
• determining a rotational angle of the indication element with respect to a reference orientation on the basis of the sensor signal,
• outputting an information regarding the rotational angle.
