Abstract

An apparatus for detecting a rotation angle using a magnet rotor comprising a magnet having 2N poles, wherein N is a natural number, and a sensor device for detecting the direction of a magnetic flux from the magnet rotor, at least one of two output voltages obtained in radial and rotational directions by the sensor device being multiplied by a correction coefficient, and the rotation angle being calculated from the two corrected output voltages to increase the detection accuracy of the rotation angle.
