Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An output signal V 1 =sin θ is output from a first magnetic sensor and an output signal V 2 =cos(θ+α) is output from a second magnetic sensor. An output signal correction unit in a rotation angle computing device corrects the output signal V 2 from the second magnetic sensor to an output signal V 2 ′ (=cos θ) so that a positional phase difference (90°+α) between the magnetic sensors and is made equal to a target phase difference of 90°. A rotation angle computing unit computes the rotation angle θ of a rotor based on the corrected signal V 2 ′ (=cos θ) and the other output signal V 1 (=sin θ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A rotation angle detection device detecting a rotation angle of a rotating body and comprising: a first sensor disposed at a first position at a periphery of the rotating body and outputting a first sinusoidal signal in accordance with a rotation of the rotating body; a second sensor disposed at a second position at the periphery of the rotating body and at an angular interval from the first position and outputting a second sinusoidal signal, having…
