Abstract

A position detector includes detection coils for outputting two sinusoidal signals that have phases shifted from each other by 90 degrees; subtractors for eliminating offset components included in output signals DCA and DSC output from the detection coils; an interpolation calculator for converting the two signals DCA and DSC in which the offset components have been eliminated into position information IP; a radius calculator for calculating a root-sum-square of the two signals DC and DS output from the detection coils; correlation calculators for respectively multiplying a fluctuation component RDA of an output from the radius calculator by the signals DCA and DSC in which the offset components have been eliminated; low-pass filters (LPFs) for extracting DC components of output values output from the correlation calculators; and an outputter for outputting offset components including offset displacement fractions based on output values COMDC and SOMDC output from the LPFs.
