Abstract

An external-force detecting sensor includes a sensor unit for commonly detecting angular velocity and acceleration; an angular-velocity/acceleration mix signal outputting unit for outputting an angular-velocity/acceleration mix signal comprised of an angular-velocity component in accordance with the magnitude of angular velocity and an acceleration component in accordance with the magnitude of acceleration that are detected by the sensor unit; and a signal separating unit for separating and extracting the angular-velocity component and the acceleration component from the angular velocity/acceleration mix signal to output as an angular-velocity signal and an acceleration signal.
