Abstract:
An angle sensor includes a detection signal generation unit for generating detection signals, and an angle detection unit for generating a detected angle value on the basis of the detection signals. The angle detection unit includes a signal conversion unit for performing a conversion operation, and an angle operation unit for performing an angle operation. The conversion operation is to convert the detection signals into first and second operation signals. The angle operation is to calculate the detected angle value using the first and second operation signals. The conversion operation includes an operation using a correction-term-containing function which contains a correction term for reducing a first error or a second error occurring in the detected angle value. When the angle to be detected varies with a predetermined period, the first error varies with the predetermined period, whereas the second error varies with a period ½ the predetermined period.
