Paper title: HIGH RESOLUTION OPTICAL POSITION SENSOR
Author(s): IULIA CRISTINA STIKA, LIVIU KREINDLER, RADU GIUCLEA,
Abstract: A big challenge for all intelligent drives developers is to obtain performant, low cost
solutions. The paper presents a method to obtain a high resolution position value from a
linear optical position sensor. The structure of this type of position sensor makes it a
low cost solution that can be used in AC, DC or step motors configurations. The
position is computed from 3 sinusoidal waves provided by the optical sensor. Due to
imperfections of the sensor pattern, the angle is read from one of the three signals
(Phase3) while the other two phases are used to determine its exact quadrant. Despite
the complex algorithm of position computation, the presented solution remains a low
cost but high precision one.
