Abstract

A device for determining an angular position of a rotating body including a generator of magnetic flux connected to the rotating body and a magnetoresistive sensor connected to the support. The magnetic flux generator takes the form of a ring or a portion of a ring and comprises alternating poles making up a series of magnets generating magnetic fluxes in substantially parallel directions.
