US Patent 11125719 Gas sensor

A gas sensor is capable of measuring the concentrations of each of a plurality of target components in a gas being measured. The gas sensor has a sensor element, and one or more processors configured to control an oxygen concentration and to acquire a target component concentration. The oxygen concentration is controlled in a first chamber and a second chamber of a first sensor cell, and the oxygen concentration is also controlled in a second chamber of a second sensor cell. The concentration of a second target component is acquired on the basis of a difference ΔIp between a first pump current value and a second pump current value, and the concentration of a first target component is acquired by subtracting the concentration of the second target component from the second pump current value (total concentration).
