  • Steering angle sensor with evaluation of the incremental track for absolute value determination
    Patent number: 6311401
    Abstract: This invention relates to a steering angle sensor wherein the angle values are determined by the position of a code disk provided with an incremental track and a code track. So as to be able to express the 8-step-code-word-defined precision by means of six-step code words on the code track the six-step code words are supplemented by 2 bit resulting from the momentary state of the incremental track scanned by two detectors.
