Solution Overview

Problem

Existing resolver correction devices face challenges in correcting frequency deviations caused by rotor rotation and temperature variations in analog filters, leading to inaccuracies in phase shift amounts and signal processing.

Innovation Solution

A resolver correction device that uses a phase shifter, frequency error correction unit, and adjuster to calculate and adjust the phase shift amount based on the time differential of the phase difference between phase modulation and excitation signals, correcting frequency deviations and temperature-induced variations in the phase shift amount.

AI summary

To correct a frequency deviation generated in an input signal to an analog filter according to the rotation of a rotor in a resolver, a resolver correction device includes a phase shifter which shifts the phase of a first phase signal of the resolver, with respect to the signals at least having two phases and more, detected by the resolver. The phase-shifted first phase signal and a second phase signal are added, as a phase modulation signal with the excitation signal modulated by a rotation angle of the rotor in the resolver. A phase difference correction signal is generated based on a phase difference between the phase modulation signal of the resolver and the excitation signal. The adjusting amount of the phase shifter is calculated based on the phase difference correction signal, in which the phase shifter adjusts a phase shift amount according to the adjusting amount.
