Abstract

A rotation angle measurement method and a circuit, a rotation angle measuring system including a shaft, a transducer, a first sensor system with at least one magnetic field sensor of a first type for measuring a magnetic field component Bz and a second sensor system with at least one magnetic field sensor of a second type for detecting magnetic field components Bx, By being provided, a first or second measured value being ascertained with the aid of each sensor system at a first point in time, a first or second rotation angle value being determined for each measured value, a first output rotation angle value being determined from the first rotation angle value and a known constant angle offset between the two sensor systems as a reference value for the second sensor system, a deviation of the second rotation angle value from the first output rotation angle value being ascertained.
