Understanding Magneto-Resistive Sensors in Earth's Magnetic Field Rotation

[Aquilia]

Hi!

um, i have a problem with my assignment. (don't worry, I'm not asking for the whole thing to be solved here!). and basically i have to sketch the voltage output of a magneto-resistive sensor when it's placed in Earth's magnetic field and rotated 360 degrees. the horizontal component of the field is assumed to be zero. i have trawled the internet for information and found none. does anyone know a site which will provide this information? well, i don't mind a direct answer but i need to reference everything!

thank yooouuuuu

So when you googled magneto-resistive sensor, and read through the hit list, what did you find for specific information about the transfer function of the device?
