Abstract
A magnetic field sensor having a magnetoresistance bridge. The sensor includes two longitudinally connected multilayer magnetoresistances and two transversely connected multilayer magnetoresistances. The two longitudinally connected magnetoresistances are sensitive to the magnetic field to be measured. The four magnetoresistances are connected to a wheatstone bridge.
