Abstract

The invention provides an apparatus for measuring intake air for an internal combustion engine by means of a detecting unit including a heat generating resistor, and a flow amount arithmetic unit for calculating an air flow amount on the basis of the output from the detecting unit. The measuring apparatus further includes an equalizer circuit for regulating the amplitude or phase of the output signal from the detecting unit, between the detecting unit and the flow amount arithmetic unit.
