Abstract:
An angle sensor includes a plurality of magnetic sensors and a processor. The plurality of magnetic sensors generate a plurality of detection values representing directions of a composite magnetic field, which is a composite of a magnetic field to be detected and a noise magnetic field. The processor assumes a group of estimated unknowns. The group of estimated unknowns is a set of estimated values of a first, a second, and a third unknown. The first unknown corresponds to an angle detection value. The second unknown corresponds to the direction of the noise magnetic field. The third unknown corresponds to the strength of the noise magnetic field. The processor executes a process for determining the group of estimated unknowns a plurality of times, and assumes an estimated value of the first unknown in the last determined group of estimated unknowns as the angle detection value.
