  • a resolver that detects a rotation angle of a rotor with respect to a stator
  • a structure in which two-phase sheet coils having a phase difference of 90 degrees in an electrical angle are disposed adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction For example, a resolver having a structure in which two-phase detection coils (sin phase coil pattern, cos phase coil pattern) disposed to face a single-phase excitation coil are disposed on the identical plane is known. With such a structure, the distances of the two-phase detection coils to the excitation coil are substantially identical, and the angle detection accuracy can be improved (see Japanese Patent No. 5203301).

It is to be noted that the present invention is not limited to this object, and it is another object of the present invention to achieve operational effects that are derived from each configuration illustrated in “Mode for Carrying Out the Invention” to be described later and cannot be obtained by conventional techniques.
