Abstract
A gas sensor consists of a pump cell, a monitor cell, and a sensor cell. The sensor cell is supplied with power to produce a sensor cell current. The monitor cell is supplied with power to produce a monitor cell current. A sensor cell and a monitor cell current detector are disposed between a sensor cell electrode exposed to a gas cavity and a sensor cell power supply and between a monitor cell electrode exposed to the gas cavity and a monitor cell power supply, thereby enabling the sensor cell current and the monitor cell current to be measured without addition of electric noises arising from current components flowing from the monitor cell to the sensor cell and vice versa.
