Zusammenfassung:A rotation angle detection apparatus includes three or more sensing portions and a controller. Each sensing portion includes a main circuit unit which is a full-bridge circuit and a subsidiary circuit unit which is a full-bridge circuit. An angle calculator of the controller calculates a rotation angle on the basis of a main signal corresponding to a main positive signal and a main negative signal outputted from at least one main circuit unit and a subsidiary signal corresponding to a subsidiary positive signal and a subsidiary negative signal outputted from at least one subsidiary circuit unit. An abnormality monitoring unit compares main signals and also compares subsidiary signals outputted from different sensing portions and monitors an abnormality occurrence according to a comparison result. A rotation angle can be thus detected with high accuracy.
