AUTOMATIC STABILIZATION OF ENCODERS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18466811 titled 'AUTOMATIC STABILIZATION OF ENCODERS

Original Abstract Submitted

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing an encoder capable of performing a self-correction process, and more particularly methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for implementing an encoder capable of performing a process to correct itself during operation of the encoder. In various embodiments, the encoder includes an exciter and a sensor capable of detecting a position of the exciter and generating a signal based on the position of the exciter. The encoder can then perform one or more steps to detect at least one of a first error in an offset of the signal, a second error in a gain of the signal, or a third error in a phase of the signal as the exciter is rotating and correct the signal from the sensor based on the detection of at least one of the first error, the second error, or the third error.
