ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for sensing the relative rotational position between first and second relatively rotatable members includes a transmitter disk having a planar surface and being mountable to the first member so that the planar surface of the transmitter disk is substantially perpendicular the an axis of rotation of the first and second members. The transmitter disk has a conductive material mounted to the planar surface in a circular pattern with a sinusoidal diameter. A receiving disk having a planar surface and is mountable to the second member so that the planar surface of the transmitter disk is substantially perpendicular the an axis of rotation of the first and second members. The receiving disk has a conductive material mounted thereon and arranged in a circular pattern with a squarewave diameter so as to receive a signal from the transmitter disk and output a signal indicative of the relative rotational position of the first and second members.
