  • Method and apparatus for n/(n-x) resolver encoder
    Patent number: 4970511
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for indicating the angular position of an object relative to a reference position in which a plurality of different tracks of indicia are positioned on indicia-supporting media that is adapted for movement with the object. High resolution position words are assembled by merging position information resolved from a plurality of different tracks of indica. The position information is resolved by way of sine wave synthesis in which position information from a pair of tracks having different resolutions is used to generate position information of an intermediate resolution. This intermediate position information is merged with position information from the higher resolution track of the two tracks.
