ABSTRACT:
A very accurate rotational phase detection system is disclosed having first and second disks that are encoded with a 31-digit pseudo-random M-sequence, the first and second disks being attached to rotationally-coupled members. In the disclosed embodiment, the encoding is accomplished by dividing the disks into 31 sections and contouring the periphery of the disks such that sections corresponding to “1” have a larger radius and sections corresponding to “0” have a smaller radius. Sensors—for example, inductive proximity sensors—are positioned near the periphery of the first and second disks that detect the encoded pseudo-random sequences and are periodically sampled (for example, at 50 kHz) to generate first and second detected sequences. The first and second detected sequences are processed to remove noise and to range between +1 and −1, and are then cross-correlated to determine the rotational phase relationship between the attached rotating members.
