Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by establishing specific mathematical relationships between stator magnetic pole number (Ns), rotor magnetic pole number (Nr), and phase number (q). The stator magnetic pole number is set as an integral multiple of the phase number (Ns = m × q), and the rotor magnetic pole number is calculated using the formula Nr = (Ns - 2) / (2n - 1). These parameter changes enable high resolution while maintaining manageable coil winding complexity.
