Abstract
Disclosed is a position detection signal processing apparatus to be used with a first body having a first pattern for alignment and a second body having a second pattern. The apparatus includes a pattern detecting device for detecting the first and second patterns and producing a detection signal stream, an expectation pulse forming circuit for forming an expectation pulse signal for specifying the portion of the detection signal stream in which the probability with which signals corresponding to the first and second patterns exist is high, and a true signal forming circuit for forming true signal streams corresponding to the first and second patterns from the detection signal stream and the expectation pulse signal.
