A magnetoresistive sensor with offset correction and suitable for this method

A magnetoresistive sensor with offset correction for the measurement of magnetic fields or magnetic fields transmittable sizes with the application of pulse magnetic field for setting the magnetization directions in the resistances of the sensor element forming the magnetoresistive layers, characterized in that the magnetoresistive sensor of one or more pairs of first (1) and second (2) of the same magnetoresistive strip sections consists and the magnetization directions in the first (1) and second (2) magnetoresistive strip portions of each pair of electric pulses (8, 9) of predeterminable direction assigned to a first magneto-resistive strip sections (1) magnetization line (3) and a associated with the second magnetoresistive strip sections (2) magnetization line (4) for a first cycle time in a matching direction, and for a second cycle time in opposite directions are adjustable.
