Method for detecting angle in a steering system

Abstract

magnetic field. It involves setting up a magnetic angle sensor to detect the magnetic field angle from at least one magnet on a rotating component or driven gear, outputting an absolute angle value. After initialization, the first absolute angle is recorded as the starting angle. The current relative angle is calculated based on the relationship between the current and starting absolute angles, determining the rotation direction and number of turns. Using the relative angle, direction, and turns, the precise rotation angle and direction of the main rotating component or gear are computed. If the system starts with the component not at
