Abstract

In a method of determining residual error compensation parameters for a magnetoresistive angle sensor providing a first measurement signal depending on a rotational angle the step of generating a plurality of value pairs for a plurality of rotational angle values is provided, wherein each value pair has a rotational angle value and an associated measurement signal value. The method further includes ascertaining a sinusoidal fit function the course of which is adapted to the plurality of value pairs. Finally, residual error compensation parameters can be generated from a difference between the ascertained sinusoidal fit function and the associated measurement signal values of the measurement signal for the plurality of rotational angle values.
