Abstract
There are provided an analyte sensor and an analyte sensing method which provide measurements in a wide phase range, a reduction in size, and lowering of current consumption. That is, in an analyte sensor and an analyte sensing method, a detection element which outputs a detection signal in accordance with a change in mass in a detection portion and a reference element which outputs a reference signal in accordance with a change in mass in a reference portion are provided, a phase change value is determined from the detection signal and the reference signal by heterodyne system, and an amount of detection of a target is calculated.
