Abstract
A rotation angle detection device, including: a rotor; a stator including one bias magnetic field generation portion (BMFGP) and magnetic detection elements; and a rotation angle calculation processor calculating a rotation angle of the rotor from detection signals of the detection elements, wherein a surface of the rotor has convex and concave portions (CCPs), which change in “x” (“x”≥1) cycles for a mechanical angle of 360, and a shape of the CCPs make the detection elements possible to obtain a sine wave, and wherein “a” (“a”≥2) detection elements are arranged along a circumferential direction of the stator at equal intervals for one cycle of the CCPs—so as to be opposed to the surface of the rotor, and the BMFGP extends in the circumferential direction for one cycle of the CCPs so as to overlap with the “a” detection elements.
