Abstract
Because of temperature independence, high resolution and noiseless outputs,
brushless resolvers are widely used in high precision control systems. In this paper, at first
dynamic performance characteristics of brushless resolver, considering parameters
identification are presented. Then a mathematical model based on d-q axis theory is given.
This model can be used for studying the dynamic behavior of the resolver and steady state
model is obtained by using dynamic model. The main object of this paper is to present an
approach to identify electrical and mechanical parameters of a brushless resolver based on
DC charge excitation and weight, pulley and belt method, respectively. Finally, the model
of resolver based on the obtained parameters is simulated. Experimental results approve the
validity of proposed method.

Abstract
A mathematical model based on d-q axis theory and dynamic performance
characteristic of brushless resolvers is discussed in this paper. The impact of rotor
eccentricity on the accuracy of position in precise applications is investigated. In particular,
the model takes the stator currents of brushless resolver into account. The proposed model
is used to compute the dynamic and steady state equivalent circuit of resolvers. Finally,
simulation results are presented. The validity and usefulness of the proposed method are
thoroughly verified with experiments.

Abstract
Resolvers are widely used in electric driven systems especially in high precision servomechanisms. Both encapsulated and pancake resolvers suffer from a major drawback: static eccentricity (SE). This drawback causes a significant increase in resolver output position error (RPE) which could not be corrected electronically. To reduce RPE, this paper proposes a novel structure with axial flux. Proposed topology, design guidelines, optimization procedure and several key features to improve the sensitivity of axial flux resolver (AFR) against SE are studied. Furthermore, to minimize RPE an optimized design is attained. The machines are investigated in detail by using d-q model and 3D time stepping finite-element analysis. The results of theses two methods are compared and both prototype machines (proposed and optimized) are built. In order to evaluate proposed topologies, an experimental test setup is devised. Finally, the experimental results of the prototype machines verified the analysis results.

Abstract
Disk Type Variable Reluctance (DTVR) resolvers have distinguished performance under run out fault comparing to conventional sinusoidal rotor resolvers. However, their accuracy under inclined rotor fault along with different types of eccentricities includes static and dynamic eccentricities are questioned. Furthermore, due to thin copper wires that are used for signal and excitation coils of resolver there is high risk of short circuit fault in the coils. So, in this study the performance of the sinusoidal rotor DTVR resolver under the mentioned faults are studied. The quality of output voltages along with position error of the sensor is discussed. 3-D time stepping finite element method is used to show the effect of different faults. Finally, the prototype of the studied resolver is constructed and tested. The employed test bed is built in such a way that is able to apply controllable level of different mechanical faults. Good agreement is obtained between the finite element and the experimental results, validating the success of the presented analysis.

Abstract
Multi-Speed resolvers are desirable position sensors for high performance closed-loop control of inverter driven machines due to their high accuracy. However, developing a winding with high number of poles with limited number of slots is a main challenge in achieving multi-speed function. Therefore, in this paper different winding configuration are proposed to achieve 5-X performance of a disk type wound-rotor resolver. Then, the best winding is chosen for experimental verification. In addition to the accuracy of the sensor, the optimal winding selection index is defined considering copper usage, number of winding layers (overlapping or non-overlapping configurations), the number of turns for each coil of the winding (variable or constant turn configurations), and the amplitude of the fundamental harmonic. An objective function is defined involving all the mentioned indices with different weights determined based on the importance of each index. Finally, a prototype of the sensor with the best winding is built and tested. The experimental measurements verify the results of the simulations that are obtained using 3-D time setting finite element analysis.

Abstract
The Recent development of 2-DOF electrical machines leads to increasing need for 2-DOF position sensors. Using a planar sensor instead of two linear ones decreases the complexity, and cost of the employed drive. Therefore, in this paper a new slotless configuration is proposed for the planar resolver, that simplifies the manufacturing of the sensor. Then, the optimal combination of the stator/mover number of coils is determined based on the proposed analytical model. Finally, to reduce the number of integrated parts of the proposed resolver, a new configuration with skewed coils is proposed. The success of the developed model and the presented configuration is validated using three-dimensional finite element analysis.
