    • An electronic circuit for measuring an angle and an intensity of an external magnetic field (60), comprising: a first and second magnetic field sensing unit (300, 400) having sensing axis substantially orthogonal to each other; a voltage generator (200) supplying a synchronization signal (101), a first voltage waveform (201) to the first magnetic field sensing unit (300) and a second voltage waveform (202) to the second magnetic field sensing unit (400); a signal conditioning unit (500, 600) configured for adding up the first (301) to the second sensing output signal (401) outputting a conditioned signal (601); wherein the first and second voltage waveforms (201, 202) have substantially the same amplitude and the same frequency and are phase shifted by about 90° with respect to each other; and wherein the conditioned signal (601) and the synchronization signal (101) are inputted into a magnetic field angle detection unit (700) configured for measuring a phase shift between the conditioned signal (601) and the synchronization signal (101) and for determining the angle of the external magnetic field from the measured phase shift. The electronic circuit is also for measuring an intensity of the external magnetic field and each of the first and second magnetic field sensing units comprises a magnetic tunnel junction and is configured such that an amplitude of the first and second sensing output signals varies linearly with a variation of the intensity of the external magnetic field, the electronic circuit further comprising a magnetic field intensity detection unit configured to determine the intensity of the external magnetic field by sampling the amplitude of the summed signal (501) at its maximum to obtain a corresponding sampled magnetic field intensity output (801), the occurrence of the maximum being detected based on the conditioned signal (601) being a digital phase comparator signal of the summed signal (501).
