In determining an exciter conductor spacing of an exciter conductor of an exciter conductor structure from a sensor element of a calibratable magnetic field sensor, first and second electric currents are impressed into the first and second exciter conductors of the exciter conductor structure to generate first and second magnetic field components in the sensor element of the magnetic field sensor, and a quantity is determined depending on the first and second magnetic field components by means of the sensor element. Further, the exciter conductor spacing of the exciter conductor from the sensor element of the magnetic field sensor is established in dependence on an exciter conductor intermediate spacing between the first exciter conductor and the spaced-apart second exciter conductor and the quantities depending on the first and second magnetic field components.
Method for determining an exciter conductor spacing of an exciter conductor of an exciter conductor structure from a sensor element of a calibratable magnetic field sensor, the exciter conductor structure comprising a first exciter conductor and a second exciter conductor spaced apart therefrom, and the sensor element being calibratable by means of the first or second exciter conductor, comprising:
Method for calibrating a magnetic field sensor comprising at least one sensor element that is calibratable by means of an exciter conductor of an exciter conductor structure, wherein the exciter conductor structure comprises a first exciter conductor and a second exciter conductor spaced apart therefrom, the method comprising:
Calibratable magnetic field sensor comprising an exciter conductor structure, the exciter conductor structure comprising a first exciter conductor and a second exciter conductor spaced apart therefrom, and the magnetic field sensor comprising at least one sensor element that is calibratable by means of a first or second exciter conductor, comprising:
Usage of an exciter conductor structure comprising a first exciter conductor and a second exciter conductor spaced apart therefrom for determining an exciter conductor spacing between one of the first and second exciter conductors of the exciter conductor structure and a sensor element of a calibratable magnetic field sensor, the magnetic field sensor comprising at least one sensor element that is calibratable by means of the first or the second exciter conductor, and the exciter conductor structure being implemented such that in a spacing determination phase for determining an exciter conductor spacing between one of the first and second exciter conductors and the sensor element a current can be impressed into the first or second exciter conductor and temporally offset in the other of the first and second exciter conductors, such that different magnetic field components can be generated in the sensor element for determining the exciter conductor spacing.
