Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method for expanding the absolute angle measurement range in magnetic field sensors. Through the use of an evaluation circuit (12), various method steps are carried out; first, the ratio of two phase-shifted input values is determined, for example sine signals or cosine signals of the voltage (2, 3). The ratio of the phase-shifted input values (2, 3) to each other is combined with an offset C. The predeterminable offset C permits the expansion (9) of the angle measurement range of magnetic field sensors to a full 360° rotation (11) or a multiple thereof.
