Abstract
A magnetic field sensor that can be manufactured using the technology of surface micromechanics, having a conductor loop that has at least one deformable segment; a deformation device for deforming the deformable segment of the conductor loop with a predeterminable time dependence; a voltage sensing device for sensing the voltage induced at the ends of the conductor loop upon deformation in the presence of a magnetic field; and a magnetic field determining device for determining the present static and/or dynamic magnetic field in consideration of at least the time dependence of the deformation.
