    Abstract: A device for the production of a tachometry signal of infinite resolution and without ripple from an inductive position sensor. The sensor is fed by a sinusoidal reference signal and supplies two phase signals. A resistance-capacitance circuit tuned to the frequency of the reference signal is fed by the two phase signals of the sensor and supplies a sinusoidal signal whose phase angle is proportional to the rotation of the sensor. This signal is then digitized and processed by digital phase comparators and low-pass filters before differentiation. This includes the use of particular digital phase comparators, each associated with a particular return to zero detector, to produce by a storage flip-flop and an electronic switch, the outgoing tachometry signal with the aid of a single differentiator with a device for elimination of discontinuities.
