A phase adjustor circuit and a phase adjusting method are capable of preventing a phase shift amount from fluctuating even in the case where a frequency of a transmission carrier wave of a sensor signal fluctuates. A chopping wave converter circuit converts a pulse string signal into a chopping wave. A chopping wave amplitude control circuit compares the amplitude value of the chopping wave with an amplitude reference value, and outputs an adjustment signal corresponding to a difference between those values to the chopping wave converter circuit. The chopping wave converter circuit changes a slope of the chopping wave according to the adjustment signal to adjust the amplitude value of the chopping wave. As a result, a feedback group is structured, and the amplitude value of the chopping wave is maintained to a constant value according to the amplitude reference value. A phase shift circuit outputs a phase shift pulse string signal that is a pulse string signal whose phase is shifted with respect to an original pulse string signal.
