Abstract
An inductive sensor detects a position of a detection object relative to a fixed body, in which the detection object is either provided as (i) a rotating body rotatable about a predetermined axis relative to the fixed body or (ii) a movable body movable in accordance with movement of the rotating body. The inductive sensor includes a circuit board and multiple targets. The circuit board has, implemented thereon, a transceiver coil including a transmitter coil and a receiver coil, and a transceiver circuit that supplies a high frequency wave to the transmitter coil and outputs a signal corresponding to a change in inductance of the receiver coil, and is fixed to the fixed body. The multiple target objects are configured to move in synchronization with movement of the detection object and to include a conductor.
