Abstract
A rotation angle sensor includes first and second magnetic detection elements disposed at positions where a first disposition angle relative to a magnet center is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees and configured to acquire magnetic field in a first direction varying by a rotation of a magnet; third and fourth magnetic detection elements configured to acquire the magnetic field in a second direction; a calculation signal generator configured to output a first magnetic field calculation signal, based on outputs of the first and second magnetic detection elements, and configured to output a second magnetic field calculation signal, based on outputs of the third and fourth magnetic detection elements; and an angle signal generator configured to generate and output an angle signal indicative of a rotation angle of the magnet, based on the first and second magnetic field calculation signal.
