A process for the evaluation of signals of magnetoresistive sensors

The invention relates to a method for evaluating signals while eliminating an interference signal on magnetoresistive sensor elements which is preferably proportional to the zero offset. Said sensor elements can form a sensor element array such as a sensor bridge (2). According to the invention, the direction of magnetization of the sensor elements is modulated or shifted by applying a magnetic pulse field of a modulated or variable direction, and the output signals of the sensor elements or of the sensor element array are fed to a differential amplifier. Due to the modulation or shift of the operating voltage of the sensor bridge, said modulation or shift resulting at the same time as the magnetization of the sensor elements, a signal often arises which comprises a direct component that is proportional to the magnetic field to be measured, and has an alternating component that is proportional to the offset voltage of the sensor element array. The latter is minimized by a feedback or is adjusted to zero. The bandwidth, with which the direct voltage that is proportional to the magnetic field to be measured can follow changes of the input signal, is greater in magnitude than the magnetization frequency of the sensor elements.
