Abstract

To realize a circular position detection sensor of an electromagnetic induction type, and which functions with high accuracy.SOLUTION: A plurality of first loop coils X1-X8 are disposed on a circular substrate 10 in a first direction, and a plurality of second loop coils are disposed in a second direction that crosses the first direction. Each of the plurality of first loop coils comprises linear parts SL, S1, S2 extended in a direction that crosses the first direction and peripheral edges EG, E1, E2 along the outer edge of the circular substrate 10. Similarly, each of the plurality of second loop coils comprises linear parts extended in a direction that crosses the second direction and edges along the outer edge of the circular substrate.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
