  • Rotor position sensing apparatus and method using piezoelectric sensor and hall-effect sensor
    Patent number: 7885785
    Abstract: A position observer for control-based torque ripple mitigation in permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs). Rotor position is determined using data from two sources: a piezoelectric sensor for initial position and low-speed detection, and a single Hall-effect sensor for high-speed detection.
