ABSTRACT:
An angle transducer comprising a first disk, the rotor, with circularly arranged and radially directed receiver electrodes and a second disk, the stator, equipped with circularly arranged and radially directed transmitter electrodes arranged at the same radius as the receiver electrodes and with a fixed separation between the receiver and transmitter electrodes, whereby the disks are arranged coaxially and rotatable relative to each other, and the disks are further separated by a thin air-gap. The transmitter electrodes are each supplied with an alternating voltage with different phases for neighboring electrodes, whereby the number of supply phases, φ, is greater than two, and the separation of the transmitter electrodes=the separation of receiver electrodes/φ. The transmitter electrodes of the stator are geometrically arranged such that errors in their geometry relative to the geometry of the receiver electrodes produce equal but opposite error signal in the receiver electrodes of the rotor.
