  • Digital signal processing of resolver rotor angle signals
    Patent number: 6754610
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining the angular position of a rotor. The rotor is a part of a resolver used to determine the position of a shaft, or the like, in operation in a system such as a shaft in a missile gimbal. A digital signal processor is used advantageously to reduce cost. The inherently poorer performance of a data sampling approach in the presence of noise, as compared to the prior art tracking converter approach, is overcome by novel application of the digital signal processor and related circuitry.
    Type: Grant
