ABSTRACT:
A system and a method for determining an angular position of a rotor and a radial position of the rotor are provided. The rotor has either a slot or a protrusion on the rotor. The rotor is centered about a center point. The method includes generating a first signal utilizing a first sensor disposed proximate the slot or protrusion of the rotor. The method further includes determining a first angular position of the rotor by identifying a first corrupted portion of the first signal. The method further includes removing the first corrupted portion of the first signal to obtain a second non-corrupted position signal. The method further includes determining a first radial coordinate of the center point of the rotor based on the second non-corrupted position signal.
