Abstract

The invention relates to a device for generating a sensor signal, the profile thereof depending on the position of a magnetic field-generating element relative to the device, with at least two magnetically sensitive sensors disposed along a measurement path, wherein a support field device, which generates a magnetic support field in the magnetically sensitive sensors, has at least in the magnetically sensitive sensors an essentially identical direction and an essentially homogeneous field strength.
