  • Patent number: 7170279
    Abstract: A device for angle measurement, having at least one transducer wheel and at least one sensor, including at least one sensor element and cooperating with the transducer wheel, in which by means of the cooperation of the transducer wheel and the sensor, a pair, which can be associated with an angle to be measured, comprising one sine-wave signal and one cosine-wave signal can be obtained, in which at least two sensors are provided, whose sine-wave signals and cosine-wave signals, for obtaining an averaged sine-wave signal and averaged cosine-wave signal, and/or after the formation of an arc tangent signal from the respective averaged or unaveraged sine-wave signals or cosine-wave signals, can be put computationally into relation with one another by means of an evaluation device in order to obtain an averaged arc tangent signal.

  • Publication number: 20040004471
    Abstract: A device for angle measurement, having at least one transducer wheel (23, 24) and at least one sensor (121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126), including at least one sensor element and cooperating with the transducer wheel (23, 24), in which by means of the cooperation of the transducer wheel and the sensor, a pair, which can be associated with an angle to be measured, comprising one sine-wave signal and one cosine-wave signal can be obtained, in which at least two sensors (121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126) are provided, whose sine-wave signals and cosine-wave signals, for obtaining an averaged sine-wave signal and averaged cosine-wave signal, and/or after the formation of an arc tangent signal from the respective averaged or unaveraged sine-wave signals or cosine-wave signals, can be put computationally into relation with one another by means of an evaluation device (20) in order to obtain an averaged arc tangent signal.
