D Operation of a Resolver
A resolver is a rotating transformer that produces output voltages on a pair
of SIN and COS secondary windings. When an excitation voltage is applied
to the primary winding and the resolver shaft is rotated, amplitude-
modulated voltage waveforms appear on the secondary windings, where
the excitation voltage acts as a carrier for the modulation. In addition, on
each secondary, the phase of the carrier voltage is reversed twice every
revolution.
Figure D–1 shows the relationships between the resolver position and the
SIN
and COS outputs, as well as the phase reversals in the carrier waveforms for
forward rotation (for a clearer indication of the phase reversals, see
Figure D–2). The diagram also shows the waveform of the U motor phase
for a six-pole motor when the motor and resolver are aligned for zero phase
offset.
