  • SIGNAL PROCESSING UNIT FOR INDUCTIVE POSITION SENSOR
    Publication number: 20240142215
    Abstract: A signal processing unit for an inductive position sensor is provided. The inductive position sensor provides a first position signal and a second phase-shifted position signal, such as, a sine position signal and a cosine position signal. The signal processing unit has an integrator for integrating an integer number of periods of the first position signal respectively an integer number of periods of the second phase-shifted position signal. The position of the moving target of the position sensor is calculated from the integrated first position signal and the integrated second phase-shifted position signal.
