Abstract: A gas sensor includes a first sensor part that can detect the concentration of the mixture of first gas and second gas, a second sensor part having higher detection sensitivity with respect to the second gas than with respect to the first gas, and a signal processing circuit that subtracts the concentration of the second gas detected by the second sensor part from the mixture concentration detected by the first sensor part to derive the concentration of the first gas. The concentration of the second gas detected by the second sensor part is subtracted from the concentration of the mixture concentration detected by the first sensor part, so that it is possible to cancel the influence of the second gas which is miscellaneous gas to thereby work out a correct value of concentration of the first gas to be detected.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a gas sensor that includes a sensor part configured to generate a gas detection signal in accordance with a concentration of a gas to be measured, and a control circuit configured to generate an output signal indicating the concentration of the gas to be measured based on the gas detection signal. The control circuit is configured to correct the output signal so that the output signal indicates a concentration of the gas to be measured higher than that indicated by the gas detection signal when a level of the gas detection signal output from the sensor part is less than a reference value corresponding to a level of the gas detection signal which is normally obtained when a concentration of the gas to be measured is a concentration value in normal time.
