An electronic circuit for measuring an angle and an intensity of an external magnetic field, includes: first and second magnetic field sensing units having sensing axes substantially orthogonal to each other; a voltage generator supplying a synchronization signal, a first voltage waveform to the first magnetic field sensing unit and a second voltage waveform to the second magnetic field sensing unit; a signal conditioning unit configured for adding the first and second sensing output signals and outputting a conditioned signal. The first and second voltage waveforms have substantially the same amplitude and frequency and are phase shifted by about 90° with respect to each other. The conditioned signal and the synchronization signal are inputted into a magnetic field angle detection unit configured for measuring a phase shift between the conditioned signal and the synchronization signal and for determining the angle of the external magnetic field from the measured phase shift.
