  • Publication number: 20230238903
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for detecting a resolver signal of a motor allowing accurate detection of a peak magnitude, a peak time, a peak point, etc. of a resolver output signal. A bandpass filter and a moving average processor are configured to remove noise introduced into the resolver output signal and maintain a magnitude of the resolver output signal at original magnitude without change. A phase compensation process performed by a lead phase compensator can compensate a phase delay time for the resolver output signal.
