Abstract

The invention relates to an angular transducer and angular transducer system. The angular sensor has a plurality of synthetic magnetic field information generation unit and an angle operation unit. The plurality of synthetic magnetic field information generation units detect a synthetic magnetic field of a detection object magnetic field and a noise magnetic field apart from the detection object magnetic field in a plurality of mutually different detection positions and generate a plurality of pieces of synthetic magnetic field information containing information of at least direction in direction and intensity of the synthetic field. In each of the plurality of detection positions, the direction of the detection object magnetic field changes corresponding to the angle of the detection object. The angle operation unit generates an angle detection value according to the plurality of pieces of synthetic magnetic field information by using a least square method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an angle sensor and an angle sensor system that generate an angle detection value corresponding to an angle of a detection object. Background technique [0002] In recent years, angle sensors that generate angle detection values ​​corresponding to angles to be detected have been widely used in various applications such as detection of the rotational position of a steering wheel or a power steering motor in an automobile. Examples of angle sensors include magnetic angle sensors. In an angle sensor system in which a magnetic angle sensor is used, a magnetic field generator for detecting a magnetic field of an object whose direction is rotated in conjunction with rotation or linear motion of an object is generally provided. The magnetic field generator is, for example, a magnet. The angle of the detection object in the magnetic angle sensor has a corresponding relationship with the angle formed by the direction of the ma...
